Veronique, the first one might be Hesperantha baurii.

The second looks like Calandrinia/Montiopsis umbellata, or something closely related. Perhaps the last one might be Freesia laxa?

I grow Hesperantha baurii outside, in a (usually) wet part of Scotland, with minimum winter temerature around -5C, but it did survive the winter of 2010 when we had -12C. It willl set lots of seeds - keep them just in case....

thank you, for these determinations.
I had thought of Freesia laxa but I thought it more asymmetrical

I have grown hesperantha baurii outside in my sandy, freedraining soil for 20 years no problem Veronique. I think it might be one that has had a name change, maybe to freesia? Please correct me if I’m wrong. Don’t know the other two plants at all, second one looks very pretty.
