A reply from a friend of mine: "*Are you sure this is a lily ? The flower looks like evening primrose, a type of Oenothera......? If it is Evening Primrose, you can watch the flowers open at dusk, they unfurl slowly and we have it in the UK but a different variety of foliage*."
Dear all, I think this plant is *Oenothera biennis* L. of Onagraceae, commonly called Evening Primrose.
