While the plant pictured is in the Malephora genus, the species is probably 'lutea', rather than 'crocea'. Crocea all have violet undersides of their petals. Lutea has yellow top & bottom petals. (I have red, copper, & violet top-petal flowers growing on my 3 Malephora croceas . . . each which have violet undersides to their petals . . . and also Malephora lutea with totally-yellow colored petals on its flowers).
