Alessandro,

So it is on of the more open species by the look of it then?  Doesn't appear to be formed into a tube like so many Cyrts.  Not a species I have heard of before, so no idea what it "should" look like when open.  Thanks for sharing.

Alessandro,

Paul T has a good point there. Is your one not perhaps Cyrtanthus brevifloris like mine on the photo below and your flower need to open still.

The Cyrtanthus huttonii is a orange tube form like the example below from PBS.

It may be a Cyrtanthus flavus if it does not open more like this example photo from PBS website.

Alessandro,
The photo of C brevifloris is from my garden but the other two from PBS, which I borrowed for examples, like Maggie advised. I would like to see a photo of your plant when the flower is fully open. There only a few yellow cyrtanthus species.

Heinie I have made other photos, the flowers seem not to open a lot, the leaves are not of the C. flavus, aspect in order to see the other flowers

Alessandro,
I think that you may have the C brevifloris there if the flower opens more.

Heinie thanks, also I do not see other solutions, I hope that the other plants are C. huttonii
