You can see more pictures of Stenomesson on my web site: http://www.telosrarebulbs.com/, click on Stenomesson on the left hand side of the home page. I am still calling them all Stenomesson, partly because it gets really confusing with the name changes, and people often think they are something entirely different from those species previously called Stenomesson. The differences in my plants between S. variegatum and S. incarnatum, is that S. variegatum tend to be narrower in the tube, with tips that turn outward at a fairly sharp angle. The leaves are strap shaped and greyish. S. incarnatum has flowers that flare into a more bell-shaped form with leaves that are wider and bright green. The one clone of S. incarnatum I have is also easier to get to bloom, often blooming more than once in the season. I have tried drying them off to induce blooming, but it doesn't seem to make much difference. They bloom better if undisturbed. The pictues on the wiki all look like S. variegatum.
