Default Chinese Sacred Lily
Not a lily at all, but Narcissus tazetta (var orientalis).
Quote:
The flower is an important element in the Chinese lunar new year celebration, and is sold at flower markets before the Chinese New Year. It is believed to be good luck to have the flower bloom on the first day of the Chinese lunar new year spring festival.
Narcissus tazetta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I have a very nice clump of these growing near my front door, tho most are now past their prime. Intoxicating fragrance
