As a child, in Cornwall, I remember the old [over 21!] folk used 'Lily'
for the daffodil~~ some probably still do. L of V was simply known as
'Valley'
But then some of them had had 'Hysterical rectomies' and painted with
'Plastic emotions'!!.
Best Wishes.

".........Why is it, any time some outfit sells plants that they may not
know everything about, do they put on the name Lily? I've seen I.Canna
called lilies yet they are NOT part of that group, and I've seen some Iris
called lilies too. ....."

Yes.and I've even come across Girls named Lily
