Don't think this is an orchid.

Could be the Ophioglossum, but may need to wait until the other fronds appear.

Please see photo taken 22 October of same plants. Although slightly out of focus, an inflorescence is visible in center of shot. Supports identification as Ophioglossum. (can't find identification number)
