Another highly regarded hybrid from Pam Koide.  This plant is densely lepidote, covered in trichomes like mitlaensis.  The leaves are influenced by streptophylla as they are longer and wider than mitlaensis and they recurve and even curl in a mature plant.  Base is semi bulbous.  This is one of those plants that looks totally awesome whether it's in bloom or not
