Masdevallia Joy Edstrom leaf distortions
 

Is this kind of leaf distortion indicative of anything specific?

Just got this plant as a freebie.

Thanks much.

I don't see any problem... the importing process is pretty rough on plants, especially little pleurothallids. They get dry, they get squished in tight boxes... they recover.

Not a recent import.

I still don't think it's an issue... It could have gotten a little dry or had some other "insult" in its past. If new growth continues to show distortion it could also be genetic. It's all about the flowers...hopefully those will be nice.
