Daffodils or jonquils, they look much the same.
"Older Southern gardeners would commonly refer to any early, yellow, fragrant narcissus as a jonquil. However, "jonquil" is properly used only as the common name for the Jonquilla group of daffodils. Daffodil is the proper common name for all thirteen groups of these bulbs."
P.S. My wife thinks they may be day lilies. After clicking on the picture and seeing the larger image, they are not daffodils.

I think they are an iris. Post a picture of just the flower. One of my growers will identify it. I am in the perennial biz, hc18flyer
Yellow Flag Iris.

Yep I go with Iris. Think daffodils are probably done blooming this year for Ohio.
They are the blooms in the cattails in the little water garden they have taken over. I seen them bloom in the ditch a few years ago but only the one time after they dug it.
Picture is somewhat blurry. I'll guess yellow flag iris.

There is no 'right' that requires me to work for you or you to work for me!
SWMBO says they are (Japanese) Iris they like Bogs and like to be wet.

If they aren't Irises they sure do look like the Irises my wife has planted out back .
Here in Louisiana they were all getting into full blooming mode about 3 weeks ago ...
She has white , yellow , dark purple , light purple (lavender) and a purple and gold Louisiana Iris types planted .
Right now you can go into the Bluebonnet Swamp and see the swamp filled with blooming iris plants ... these are the wild Louisiana Irises ...most are light purple but there are occassional stands of white iris plants ... I have no idea of the names , there is about 280 species of irises so ... I just call them pretty amazing .
But if any time of year you can call a swamp beautiful ... this would be it !

Got em in mass in front of our house here in Mississippi. Wife says they are Yellow Flag Iris also. You can edge them flat and they come back twice as strong. Low maintenance color for the flower beds.Originally Posted by Texas by God

Not day lilys.
Googled images of Yellow Flag Iris are distinct and "proof positive" (thousands more on Google):
If it was easy, anybody could do it.
Dug a few that we didn't have room for and threw them out in the bar ditch, then we had a fire in same ditch. I thought they were done for but come spring up they came bloomed profusely they are tough.

those things come back no matter what . I have stuff like those yellow ones all over the place, mow em down and they just come back year after year.
Soon as I saw them I thought Dutch Iris.
A closer look showed they were not daffodils, the multiple blooms on one stem on the right in the OP made that clear. Yellow Flag Iris is a flower that I have never seen.

I'm no expert but the cattails we have growing around here don't make flowers like that ... or at least not any that I have seen .
Our cattails make a female flower that looks like a fuzzy brown weenie with small brown male flowerettes on short spike stalk above the "brown weenie" ... the fuzzy brown cylindrical female part was what we called the Cat's Tail . But there could be other species of cattails that make a yellow flower ... most of my experience comes from cutting a stalk with a cat tail attached and playing with them ... back in the stone age we made toy's out of everything ! You didn't have no money for store bought toys .

Buzzard's luck!! Can't kill nothin', nothin'll die!!
Where I grew up, Daylilies were orange. The Yellow flowered lilies were known as Lemon Lilies.
EDITED TO ADD:
Reading later posts, I concur with the Iris ID.
