the first is a 4-year-old seedlings it is bulbous : the seeds were labeled Olsynium douglasii. but that's not it, is it?

the second plant is in its second year. the whole plant is succulent, the leaves are cylindrical, the stem is 6 mm wide.

the last comes from seeds (5 years) of a mixture of small bulbous plants from PWS. the flowering plant measures 12 cm.

Veronique, the first one might be Hesperantha baurii.

The second looks like Calandrinia/Montiopsis umbellata, or something closely related. Perhaps the last one might be Freesia laxa?

I grow Hesperantha baurii outside, in a (usually)  wet part of Scotland, with minimum winter temerature around -5C, but it did survive the winter of 2010 when we had -12C. It willl set lots of seeds - keep them just in case....

thank you, for these determinations.
 I had thought of Freesia laxa but I thought it more asymmetrical

I have grown hesperantha baurii outside in my sandy, freedraining soil for 20 years no problem Veronique. I think it might be one that has had a name change, maybe to freesia?  Please correct me if I’m wrong.  Don’t know the other two plants at all, second one looks very pretty.
