<< have different lilies in my beds, and the ID stickers have long since
gone bye-bye. Some of them have very dense, dark green leaves. Others have
longer, oval-shaped leaves that much less dense in placement and a lighter
green color. I am guessing that one of these kinds is asiatic and the other
is Oriental, but I don't have much of a clue as to which is which. Can
someone address this issue, please?

The Orientals will have thicker leaves and the top of the plant as it comes
out of the ground will be more arrow shaped.
While the Asiatics have narrow leaves and the top of the plants as they come
out of the ground is more flat.
I hope this helps somewhat.
