It's orange today - Lee found these two together.

Reader Martin Král says:

The orange blooms are Asiatic lilies and kniphofia (Red Hot Poker). The former bloom early and usually are not fragrant; the very fragrant Oriental lilies come a month later. Indian Paintbrush blooms at this time, but in the mountains and prairies, not in our gardens.

Thanks to Martin and other gardeners for identifying the lovely flowers.
