Notes: This is one of several kinds of Mariposa lilies that start to bloom near the end of Spring. This one has the common name "Golden Nuggets". I was surprised to see on the CalPhotos database that there's quite a variation in appearance in this species. Some have a dark spot on each petal and others have differently shaped stamens.
