Summer growing  Eucomis zambesiaca.
Has multiplied in a nice pot full.

Give it much water in our 95 degrees days.

Babiana odorata has managed to avoid the frosts and are in flower in the garden.
These are seedlings which have turned up in various places and may have a bit of Babiana pygmaea blood in their make-up

Hesperantha latifolia - these were grown from seed from NZAGS around 2011.
I presume that the taller ones are hybrids but it may just be variation

Hesperantha vaginata grown from seed and producing the almost pure yellow variant which I presume is H.v. var stanfordiae
