It is not likely they will cross in your garden. They bloom at different times, which would make it difficult. Growers do cross lilies to create new hybrids, but they use special techniques and tools to achieve a successful cross.

If you do get a different color, it could be the result of a sport, or a mutation in the genes. Here is more:
