Number 1 looks like Ixia pumilio, Ray

I'm no expert on frits but possibly Fritillaria affinis and acmopetala?

Hi,Darren,Dave & Maggi,thank you all for the ID.
There are a couple of reasons why i did not ID 402/403 as F acompetala,
the petals have a twist to them and this flower has been out for a week,and my clump of F acompetala
is still 2 weeks away from flowering.bye Ray

I see the twist in the petals as a  (possibly) temporary fluke, perhaps caused by stress or damage to the flower.... it would be interesting to see if that feature recurs in another year. Acmopetala is still my suggestion.  ;)

Same idea like Maggi, but the foliage is smaller what I cultivated under S. autumnalis. Maybee wild collection?

I wonder if it is Scilla scilloides.  The pinkish colour is typical and the leaf is quite broad, like Scilla scilloides leaf while I think S autumnalis has narrower leaves ... from memory :-\  Mine are at the same stage of flowering.

Yes, Uli, I see what you mean... the leaf on Luc's photo is broader..... I think then I will jump ship to Scilla scilloides, with Tony!  :)
