Marie, your last one will be Gladiolus carneus, one of the few which is sold.

The second looks like an Ixia

The first is Dichelostemma, Pink Diamond is most commonly sold in that colour.

Bonitin, how lovely to have plants with such history. I have the occasional Corydalis lutea (I think that's what it is) which I got from my neighbour, most disappeared but there's always a couple I find self set. Yours looks very lush and happy, I don't recall the buds on mine having the green but I haven't looked very hard, it hasn't flowered much lately so would probably benefit from a different location.

I bought an Arum italicum marmoratum last year, it's just starting to spread. The leaves look like yours, I will try to get a pic if it's still looking OK. This cold is keeping me inside, we have 6C with cold, damp north winds so it feels much colder, besides it's very dull. Winter!

This is your Oxalis, it's in a pot in the greenhouse (more shaded one), I was going to put it in the ground soon, it's growing well.
