No, that one is (possibly) the same misidentified plant. This is Olsynium junceum, notice the "Juncus-like" foliage:

Arisaema,
Your picture is of Olsynium Juncium ssp juncium.
Olsynium Juncium exhibits considerable variability especially outside the ssp juncium.

Not this much, and if you're ignoring the foliage (you really shouldn't) there's still the issue of the missing style... This is not Olsynium junceum, and I'm not even sure it's an Olsynium/Sisyrinchium.
Tomte:
Looks a bit like hesperantha to me, but I‘m no expert on south African bulbs, most of which are not sufficiently hardy for my climate. I recall also having some similar seedlings in a batch of Olsynium from the SeedEx once (junceum or douglasii), but they did not survive for long, possibly for that very reason.
Tomte:
I may add that hesperantha coccinea is a widely grown plant that comes in various shades including light salmon, so a possible candidate imposter..
