Unidentified Stelis species

[ronaldhanko]

From Marni Turkel and from Ecudaor (I believe). The plant is about an inch tall (2.5cm) and the flowers around a quarter inch (6mm). I know how difficult it is to identify the different species of Stelis, but posted this in the rather vain hope that someone might know.

Gorgeous Photo! Is it one of yours?

Oh yes, the flower is cool too

It is mine, Carrie. I got it from Marni.

Very cute

Wish I could get an ID, but that's very difficult with Stelis.

Charming blooms! I hope someone can help with i.d.!

Sorry, but all I gotta say is, try and find a plant taxonomist who can help you.

What also doesn't help with ID'ing Stelis species is that many of them are still unidentified.

I wish I could help you out, but I don't need to repeat what you knew already.

Nice plant though.

Thanks, Philip, and you are correct that many of them are still unidentified. I don't envy the taxonomist either who has to sort them all out.

Marni has some of the coolest plants!

And you grow and show them well.

Thanks, Anon. She does indeed have cool plants and is a fine grower.
