This is one of my all time favorite hybrids from Pam. I am a sucker for all things exserta, and this hybrid doesn't disappoint. Using the Mexican form of paucifolia, Pam created a plant that is densely lepidote, covered in trichomes and as it matures, the leaves recurve and create beautiful curls. Semi-bulbous base, semi-channeled leaves, and a stunning little bloom. This is one of my top 25 favorite plants in my collection currently
