Can't believe I dare entering photos into a competition, but anyway, here we go.

Not sure whether this one here is even allowed? Massonia pygmaea, flowering at the moment. It is ever so slightly scented.

And this here is my favourite Gymno: G. matznetteri; I may have posted this picture before.

Little white flowers plopping all over a big tree - 5 or 6m tall. Hyazinth-like scent.

Not sure I have 50 shades, but I've found a few. First up is an off-white

Then a greenish white (this one isn't my plant, Ceropegia saundersii at Harrogate Show)

After spines/wool and flowers, this one's a leaf
