All good, thank you! Just makes it easier to be certain with these guys. Beautiful shots of the flowers, though!

In the first photograph no appearance of hairs along the scape below the lowest flower (–though not fully in the focus view-field ) – :
If checked in the field,
together with measuring the scape diameter and
checking the leaves match then consider as a candidate : Stylidium montanum.
Or if the leaves don't match, and hairs do grow along the scape below the lowest flower, then the more likely candidate : Stylidium graminifolium.
Genes of all three related grassy trigger plants species :
• Stylidium graminifolium <–> Stylidium montanum,
• Stylidium graminifolium <–> Stylidium armeria
have partly introgressed in populations' habitats' ecotones according to published information by Raulings and Ladiges (2001) and Wege (2017) –
but in published evidences i read :
not introgession between, genetically isolated species, co-occuring : Stylidium montanum |–| Stylidium armeria .
Please see more information here : Stylidium graminifolium
