Question for Joseph Clemens

Joseph:

Hugely curious about the ID of the ping with the upturned leaves in this photo:

I've never seen a mexiping with leaves curled up instead of down. Cool!

This is another photograph of the same plant -->

And here is a photo of a tray of younger plants (same clone) -->

It's interesting how the new leaves emerge reflexed towards the center of the plant, then as they mature they reverse their direction and curve out and down, with even the center of the leaves growing to curve up and out (again a reversal) along most of their length.

Sorry it took me so long to reply to your post. Somehow I didn't notice it until now.
