If they don’t smell and tend to stay a lot shorter, they’re more likely to be the asiatics. If they grow a lot taller and have a smell (that I personally love), they’re probably the oriental type.
Trumpet and daylilies (along with lily of the valley, calla lily, toad lily, easter lily, turk’s cap, and several others, are a lot easier to tell apart based on looks, but the Asiatic and Oriental types always confuse me until I smell them!
Some references (which, I have to use something as reference every year):

Thanks still learning, I even googled it before commenting and STILL fucked it up… uggh hahah. They are a foot tall, the others are 3-4 feet and haven’t started forming full bulbs yet. Made a post a few days ago.
Hemerocallis for anyone interested in them
I believe they are oriental Lilies, planted an assortment of oriental and asiatic iirc.
