So far there has been no response which doesn't surprise me because I suspect very few enthusiasts have had the opportunity. I understand there are a few species of Stenomesson and Clinanthus grown by collectors but I suspect many are growing the same clones and therefore seeds are rarely available, if at all. I know in Australia only Stenomesson miniatum (possibly a virused clone), S pearcei and possibly one other unnamed Stenomesson are grown and these are all thought to be from the same clone. I have S pearcei flowering at the moment (for the first time) and am trying to pollinate it. Pictures attached. I think only Clinanthus incarnatus and C variegatus are grown in Australia, again only single clones and seed is never available.
