: Lirio amarillo is a bulb. You don't prune bulbs!

I know it's a bulb, wasn't very confident about it!

deadheading and cleaning (out)
Lirio amarillo is an iris, which is a bulb. The Spanish name can refer to a variety of species, and I picked Iris pseudacorus. You *deadhead* spent flower stalks in the summer and clean out spent leaves in the fall, usually by pulling them up if they are loose. If it's too crowded, you divide the corms in winter. So 'cut back' is really too generic in this case. An uninformed gardener might lop off the leaves by mistake.
I took a semester-long course in the maintenance or perennials.

Irises are carefree plants and need minimal attention through the summer. Deadheading spent flowers will curtail the impulse of those especially energetic strains to seed themselves throughout the pond. Other more restrained varieties benefit from deadheading simply for the sake of appearance. For the same reason, trim back older leaves as they develop a tan or brown color. Trimming off old or unsightly foliage reduces the threat of pests and diseases, another excellent reason to keep the plants well tended. Fall cleaning of irises also prevents diseases or insects from overwintering on the plant. - See more at: http://www.hortmag.com/plants/plant-profiles/water_irises#st...

As I mentioned above in my comment to the previous answer, you can't cut back the *entire* plant, or you will kill it. I think the answer needs to be more specific so the gardener doesn't make a mistake!

tidy(ing) up
it would mean cutting off any dead flower heads and any brown, untidy leaves, and possibly dead bits of the rhizomes, and trimming back generally
different type of iris I know but:
Tidy up clumps of bearded irises in the autumn even if you are not about to divide them. Remove any old brown leaves and if the rest are looking untidy cut back to two-thirds of their length. - See more at: http://www.french-gardens.com/plants/iris.php#sthash.E1rap1Q...

Just an idea
If it's a nursery, maybe they're referring to removing the offshoots.
Every year, underground offshoots develop
from the original rhizome. Offshoots may be
divided and transplanted to grow new irises.
.......................................................................
When plants become crowded, divide the
offshoots from the rhizomes. Irises should
be divided 2 to 5 years after planting.

Pruning Lilies
Lilies will need help with deadheading to encourage reblooming, especially with day lilies which produce blooms lasting just one single day. Routinely deadheading fading or spent blossoms is part of the routine care that should be expected for your lilies. For best results, disinfect a pair of sharp garden shears and snip off the dead blossom just an inch below the flower base. Next, remove any foliage that looks like it is past its prime and clean all debris away from the base of the plant. At this time, you can examine your lilies for signs of pests and diseases as well. When fall arrives, it is important to cut back all dead or dying foilage and blossoms, while leaving the green foliage in place. This is necessary to help the plant build up its nutrient stores before winter arrives.
