26. silver velvet Sinningia leucotricha

This one is like opera - you either love it or hate it.

I got what I thought might be a leucotricha as one of the seedlings in the new members' mixed seed package of the AGGS. BUT, on it's second growth cycle, it formed two layers of leaf rosettes, so no..... it can't be leucotricha. It's probably a hybrid. I now have a small pot of seedlings growing.

The fuzzy silver leaves are just stunning. I love this plant.

I think this is my favorite photo of it: http://192.192.42.4/~tbgweb/cgi-bin/topic.cgi?forum=16&topic...

I have a pot of seedlings from AGGS or GHA labeled leucotricha, but they look like this right now. Think the leaves will turn silver as they age...? or when they are older?
