Every thing I've read says lilies are toxic.

Water lilies (family Nymphaecae) are not actually lilies (family Liliaceae genus Lilium) . Some types are called lotus (the ones with flower on tall stem above leaves, family Nelumbo). Common names for plants can be deceiving sometimes so it helps when they give Latin name on lists.
