I snapped a photo of this pretty yellow flower yesterday. It was found growing wild at my favorite Starbucks in Tallahassee. My go-to local flower expert had no idea what it was, so I’m appealing to my blogging friends. Please, someone, tell me what this flower is called.
Until someone provides an answer I’m calling her Arlene.
Peace, people!

We have flowers that look like that here in Australia, so I am calling her Lily. (It looks like Day lily).

Two readers have said it’s an African Iris. I shall call her Iris from now on.

No matter the name it is lovely with that pansy like center theme against the cream background. I want them in my yard!

Apparently it’s a lily. African lily seems to be the consensus.

I like your original name of Arlene and since the consensus is African Lily, perhaps Arlene the African Lily?

I use an app called Plant Net that does an amazing job of identifying flowers, trees, shrubs, weeds, berries, etc.

Whatever it is, I need one! It probably wouldn’t even consider growing here, but still… it is SO pretty!
