Yellow Lily Help Needed

I don't know what kind of yellow lily I have. It's about three ft. tall with lots of foliage and multiple blooms.

Well, the flowers are spend now and I don't know if I should cut the stems back or just let them die naturally.

I appreciate any help.

Thanks,

J

If any of the flowers start to set a seed pod, cut those off so the plant doesn't use energy to make seeds. Otherwise, leave the stem and foliage on so it can spend the rest of the summer strengthening the bulb. You can cut the stem back to once it dies on its own.
