We have entries for two of your plants
The last fan like plant: It is Iris domestica/ Belamcanda chinensis
viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2281&p=21349&hilit=Iris

And what you call as a forest lily looks more like Draceana fragrans
viewtopic.php?f=37&t=2996

You seem to like blue flowers that too rare ones. Kindly post close ups of blue flowers, because it helps to guess the plant family. Are the leaves aromatic if you crush them? Labiates have such lip like flowers but image is not clear.

Thanks Farooq Sb. for the quick response, well the first one do look like Iris Domestica, it has not flowered in the last one year that i have had it, ill wait a bit longer to confirm.

The second one is definitely not Draceana as the plant i have is a bulbous plant so most probably a form of lily, it is also producing several bulbs at the base.

I will chesk the blue flowering bush and update.

The first pic is a succulent 'stapelia'...either is stapeila confusa or stapelia schneideriana...A pic of a flower will help for exact identification
