Could this be a Diuris orchid coming up Michael?

It could be a Diuris. I was hoping to get an opinion from Tony, because it seemed unusual, with the one very long leaf.....

I agree that it is probably a Diuris; some have only 1-2 leaves.

Thanks Tony, I will revisit in a due course and get a better photo.

Could this be an exciting pink/purple one coming up :) ?

I have no idea. It is a long way from the Diuris dendrobioides, seems quite tall, and growing among rocks. I would like to find something new and different.
