Polymeria calycina and Hypoxis pratensis

Two more pretty flowers we saw at  Boonah on our friend's property

Polymeria calycina  (or slender bindweed)


It belongs to the Convolvulaceae family

The other one is called Hypoxis pratensis ( the species is only probably).
It doesn't have a common name:


Both these plants were quite low growing -  the latter about 20cm high at the most.  There were also lots of Yellow Buttons  (Chrysocephalum sp) around as well but I didn't take a photo of those.
