Latest lilies besides Rubrum?

After planting rubrum lilies at least 4 years ago, in 2 different gardens, this was the first year they actually bloomed in my main garden. I thought they had died out: I have so many other lilies that they must have been making leaves all along and I didnÂt know they were there. But this year they have paid me back for the wait: each stem had many flowers, and as late as it is, I STILL have a few blooming. They started while my orientals were still going; overlapping with Black Beauty but blooming for a much longer time.

Is there anything else I can get this will bloom this late? I thought of trying some album (assuming those bloom as late as the rubrum), is there anything else? Right now almost everything else I have (in perennials) are some shade of pink, like my Alma Potschke aster and some pink phlox. I could use something (for both a late lily and perennials) that isnÂt pink. Even the dahlias I planted nearby turned out to be pink to magenta. (The location seemed fine when I planted them, when everything in that area was blue!)
