Hi Folks,

Just to let you know that I have uploaded a few pictures of species
flowering at the moment to the wiki.
The first one is of Crossyne flava. The flower are small but many, with
tepals much recurved on long pedicels.
Flowerheads with more than 200 flowers is not uncommon.
I have also posted a close up of an individual flower to see the detail.

The second one is Massonia pygmaea, (syn. Neobakeria heterandra) an dainty
little miniature species with short tufts of white flowers between the
prostrate ciliate leaves, which is best grown in pots to keep track of.

The last one is Proiphys cunninghamii (syn. Eurycles cunninghamii)
This species from Queensland, Australia has dark green, heart-shaped leaves
and produces fragrant white flowers in a umbel-like clusters on long stems.
This plant requires a frost-free spot, a humus rich soil, in a semi-shaded
position.

Go and have a look. Enjoy

Best wishes,
