A few for the Steno lovers...

I think these are awesome looking plants with their multiple sharp wavy ribs, and usually mean looking - though thin, flexible spines... most of them don't have names, but thankfully the lack of ID's doesn't inhibit their ability to bless us with their flowers.







...and since this one is still thinking about flowering, here are the pics of last year's effort.



Enjoy!!

They look really juicy CP.
I have one mature plant, I love the striped flowers.
I agree with you though, I love the wavy ribs too.

Great CP! My only Steno is still recovering from a mealy attack, had no roots left pretty much, Unpotted it yesterday, its put on a few No where near as good looking as yours though.

Hi Michael, these tend to be quite prone to mealy attacks they love to hide in between the ribs, particularly around the growing tip, and in among the woolly parts... just gotta keep an eye on them.

Fantastic - must admit I have a few small ones of this species - the attraction? the wavy ribs they r fascinating.

Yes, wavy ribs and good flowers are really fascinating! Good plants!
