In contrast to Steves awsome photos here is a diminutive bulb from Chile.
Miersia chilensis. Flower about 0.8 cm dia on a grass like stem
Looks like it is time for a garden party!

I love that Miersia, Rimmer! I’ve never seen it before. It reminds me of some of the tiny species orchids’ flowers, like the bulbophyllums. Did you grow it from seed?
Thanks for sharing it!

Sorry, it was given to me last fall as a tiny bulb. Part of a greenhouse downsizing effort.

Rhodophiala bifida grown from seed by crossing the "typical" orange red variety and the "ox-blood" form. In bud they are very dark

This is Herbertia pulchella and it’s the first time it’s flowered for me. It’s surprisingly small. The flower on the last two
Pics looks like a Barbara Hepworth sculpture to me. Lol
