How about a Sunday trio; less obscure than some things I've put here!

Species and form for the first one are correct.
Salvia × jamensis 'Nachtvlinder' [the flowers are small]
Salvia serboana [NOT S.vitifolia which is small and inferior plant].
Smells of Christmas mandarin peel.

Is the second one a Tigridia? (vanhoutii?)
First one I'm even less sure about, Amaryllis?

Spot on with the Tigridia vanhouttei ssp. vanhouttei.
Small brown flowers invisible at a distance!
The other is South American [though quite common in the southern USA now].
Rhodophiala bifida. It should have gone dormant for the summer to be awoken with the first rain [or watering - it is the tunnel], but it got confused with the hot May and put up new leaves before I had started its summer rest, so I have kept it in growth right through the summer this time.

One more, rather out of focus. It is a bit windy here this week!

Yes. Too easy?
It is an impossible balance between 'too easy' and 'no one will ever have heard of that'!
How about these harbingers of autumn?
