Another one flowering the first time for me - Hypoxis filiformis. It is a really small flower, maybe one and a half centimeter and opens to a clear yellow star in the morning, later it closes three petals and you can see the green colour of the outside of the petals.
It is a member of the Hypoxidaceae. I got some seed from Southafrica four years ago and now it shows the first flowers. It looks special with this yellow stars and the dark green, hairy leaves.
Best wishes,
Renate
