Gladiolus dalenii is a late autumn flowerer but suffers badly if hit by frost - fortunately these have come into flower before being hit!
Nerines are still flowering: these are possibly Nerine humilis (previously N. flexuosa?) with the smaller one in the pot being Nerine crispa (now Nerine undulata)
Nerine not quite filifolia - grown from seed as Nerine filifolia but the foliage is too wide!
cheers

Hesperantha humilis is a startling flower in the depths of winter but quite diminutive in this example
A second pot came into flower a day later and the stems are a bit taller
The exterior of the petals are attractive with the speckling - almost crocus like!

First flower this year on Lapeirousia oreogena, grown from seed from the NZAGS Seedex, sown in 2012
The first seedling flowered last year and seemed a little bit paler
Still nice though!

Babiana odorata did not flower last year as the frosts destroyed all the buds though the foliage seemed to be unaffected.
This year the frosts must've been too early or too late to affect them as they are flowering well
