    Is it a Stelis? They have some beautiful flowers along these lines. Unfortunately, this is a large genus and specific ID would be a challenge. Very attractive and on a happy plant!

    Cheers,

    Rob

    That is a cute bloom, but I don't have a guess to its ID.

    Cheers,

    Most probably very close to Stelis atra.
