Fair enough, the photos are not brilliant either as I only had my phone. The one that has a very long stem was initially flat on top of leaf litter and the like, though, I cleaned that away to get a better look before I realized how deep the litter layer was..

I will await a second opinion but to me the leaves look too flimsy and the stems too long to be Corysanthes

It looks like Corysanthes to me. The stems can get quite elongated when plants are growing through thick litter, and the leaves of C. hispida can look thin like this.

The first photo doesn't look much chop to me, but I reckon the second photo looks like Corysanthes.
