Welcome! Hi Keith and welcome to ATP! I just spent a bit of time researching this one. Here is a photo of Pink Flavour. This is on the website of the company that named and registered this lily with the RHS Lily Register where it is described in detail.

Then there is another lily that is being sold as Pink Flavour that looks exactly like Iowa Rose:



Neither of these lilies look like your lily. Just offhand your lily looks similar to Tiger Babies or one of several similar lilies. Tiger Babies has a fraction of tiger lily (Lilium lancifolium) in it. Unfortunately sellers will call many lilies "tiger lilies". For example, Lilium Red Velvet becomes Red Tiger Lily. Lilium Sweet Surrender becomes White Tiger Lily. And apparently (actually I saw this while investigating...) Iowa Rose became Pink Flavour Tiger Lily. This makes it very confusing for gardeners, to say the least. As one of the moderators for the lily data base here, I go with what the Lily Register says, but I keep in mind that many older lilies have been taken and sold under new names.
