Michael, that plant (Hesperantha vaginata) certainly has the "wow factor". Sending the plant name through Google Images, I see that in some forms there are no dark marks at the end of the petals, and others do have those marks. Cool plant species!

Freesia viridis
I don't grow many bulbs from South Africa, but fortunately this one doesn't take up much space !!
I read that it sets seed prolifically, but can anyone advise please if any assistance is required for this to happen?

Some very nice specimens, Michael.
Especially the Moraea aristata with its plicata edges and the G. carinatus

Lovely flowers Michael!
How long does each flower of Morea stay open?
