1.5cm blooms? I'm not familiar with the genus, so I was expecting them to be much larger than that! Photos can be very deceptive. But small plants means you can have more of them!

Ron- Saw these on your website a little while back and they're on my mental wishlist now
We saw a Stelis vulcanica at an EPOS meeting (which I think has been synonymised with argentata) last year and was told in no uncertain terms that one of those was allowed in our collection by my GF (yay!). I've now got two Stelis (a vulcanica and an argentata 'Joinville'). Can't wait for them to bloom, although they're still quite small.

Many Stelis flowers are just millimeters in size, so this is pretty good for a Stelis.

Awesome photo of it too!
Would love to see pictures of those two in bloom.

Many of the Stelis are greenish-yellow to whitish, so these are very different in color from some of the others.
As soon as they are, I'll certainly be posting pictures They're still quite small, and I'm still a rank neophyte, but hopefully, the plants will get around to it eventually!
