It could be L. arachnacantha (possibly v. sulphurea) - there are some good photos here to compare with: http://kkplzen.eu/index.php/forum/33-Ro ... do-Z#23951" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
My only worry is that the flower is a bit too 'full' and the petals a bit too rounded... I wonder if it might be a hybrid such as, for example, L. ancistrophora x E. aurea? :-k

I'm inclined to think it's a hybrid.
