This is a beautiful WJ I recently received in a trade. The leaves are green on top and purple underneath. And, the leaves feel like velvet! I didn't know there were hairy varieties of WJ, other than 'Sillamontana' and Siderasis and to me, they are more fuzzy than hairy. Does anyone know the correct name for this beauty? Thanks!

That looks very similar to a vine I received recently.I just love it.I think it was called tahitian bridal veil? It has the velvety leaves too and the coloring is the same.Now I am curious : ) Nancy

:) Hi there Nancy! Isn't it darling? I just love it!

I know it's not Tahitian Bridal Veil, as I did receive one of t hose too from the same DGer. TBV has smooth leaves, but it does have the same coloring as this one. Gosh, don't you just love Wandering Jews?
