Owl’s Nest was the name of Steve Correale Sr’s nursery, so it’s only appropriate he have a plant named after it. This is a nice hybrid with great color in the leaves and a colorful bloom, although I will say the peduncle is suspiciously short given the parents of the plant. Soft, lepidote leaves that slightly recurve and a semi bulbous base. Not seen around often!
