Got this Lilium without a name from a friend and would be grateful for
an identification by the experts.

I can't see if it is making stem bulbils - perhaps Lilium lancifolium var. flaviflorum ?

Maggi, this plant has stem bulbils.

Rudi, have a look at this PBS page - http://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Lilium_lancifolium
there are photos from Göte Svanholm and others.

Maggi, I think, that you are right.
Many thanks for the quick action.

You may want to reserve your ID for another year and see what happens. The fact that it is upfacing says it is likely hybrid.

I agree with Rick. But it's darn close to lancifolium. And it's blooming at about the right time for lancifolium.

Dear Rick and Gene, thank you for your informative comments,
it is a good idea to watch the plant next year.

This is what lancifolium normally looks like:
