You need really sharp photos for any chance at IDing yellow lilies. Good enough to see whether the stamens are furry or not, the shape of the anthers, whether the leaves are hairy or not, and how many leaf-like bracts there are on the flower stalk.

Hi Betty,
This flower had hairy stamens and smooth leaves.
Thanks,

In that cases it is either Pauridia glabella (single leaf-like bract on the stem or Pauridia vaginata (paired bracts on the stem). The genus Pauridia is still Hypoxis in Plantnet.

If I remember correctly it had paired bracts but not 100% sure.

I have suggested Pauridia vaginata, but perhaps it would be better to say Pauridia sp.
