Native ? Yellow Zephyranthes questions

Tim:

Z. citrina has cupped flowers and much shorter petals. Z. flavissima has longer petals that are slightly wavy. Perhaps the photos in our rain lily study gallery will help. Z. citrina certainly does naturalize quite well.

Tony,

How would one distinguish between flavissima and citrina? I thought maybe Z citrina was a possibility since it is a common garden plant and apparently naturalizes. If there are other photos or measurements that would help let me know.
