This reminds me of what my wife's parents (my in-laws who I actually adore) tell me wife.
"Would you rather your husband have a drug (they usually say crack) addiction or an orchid addiction?"

Sundew flowers are the most insane mechanical construct ever
the flower begins as a tightly coiled ball and literally unrolls as it grows until it flowers and then is unrolls further into the buds.....rolls on rolls

a different one fully upright and uncoiling the buds

These are my wife's plants, meaning she saw them and said "ooh, those look pretty", and yet I am the one who cares for them.

Looking at that gorgeous semi-alba Catt... any chance it might be Lc. Stonehouse? I love that plant... it's never going to win awards for form, but has a fantastic lip, vigor and lots of huge flowers.
Condolences on that broken spike...happens to all of us. |

The yellow one is a yellow butterwort (Pinguicula lutea), the purple one is a purple shamrock (Oxalis triangularis), and the last one I am not sure but my guess is a dianthus.
And that poor den. spike, that sucks. Plumeria coming in though. How many different colors do you have? |

It is dianthus, you are correct. That oxalis should be hardy for you planted in the ground.
