Tiny flowers

I was looking around the garden for something tiny, and found the flowers of a couple of shrubs. On the left is the Sarcococca confusa, or the Sweetbox. It has minuscule white flowers which smell divine if you touch them, followed by berries. The flowers are just about to open, and as is the case here, the berries are forming already. A lovely plant to have by the back door to smell lovely as you brush past it.
The others two are of the Eucomis comosa, or the pineapple Lily. The top one is one of the star shaped flowers that grow closely up the stem, and end with a cluster of leaves - this is where it gets its 'pineapple' name from. The bottom one is to show you how it grows. This one sadly is now on its way out for the winter, but has been in flower for ages.
