2nd one looks like Golden Star Grass (Hypoxis aurea)

3rd one looks like Single Leaved Habenaria (Habenaria
grandifloriformis)

Hi Tabish, It was difficult for us to identify the Flower No. 2 say habenaria rariflora and now as u suggested Habenaria grandifloriformis. Can anyone help in differentiating between both the species in field.

Rajesh, the leaves of the two species will easily distinguish between
the two. Habenaria grandifloriformis plant has only a single heart-
shaped leaf. If you have another picture of this plant where leaves
are visible, you can verify that.

How the remaining two lovely flowers go unided? Can anyone help with the family so that Ids can be nailed down.

[J.M. Garg]

Are both of them (1st & last one) from Begoniaceae?
