Hmm not sure what to make of these ones. Are there two plants growing together? The front facing flower looks a little odd but along the lines of a pale pardina, and from what I can see of the flowers on the left side they seem more like semilunulata, although hard to see

There are definitely 2 stems and I will be interested to know what you decide and why.

From this angle, the left facing flower looks like semilunulata and the front facing one has less broad/rounded labellum lobes than semilunulata, but dorsal sepal quite broad and rounded and forward facing floral parts. I'll confirm as semilunulata but note that front facing one doesn't look typical

These area do also have Diuris chryseopsis so always the possibility of some hybrids while this is more like a natural variation?
