Brazilian edelweiss.

A beautiful bunch of edelweiss display for us, the colour of the leaves is most unusual and reminds me of my parents rockery that had this flower and others with this pale whitish green leaf.The best-known species, Sinningia speciosa, was originally introduced to cultivation as Gloxinia speciosa and is still commonly known to gardeners and in the horticultural trade as "gloxinia". The true genus Gloxinia is distinguished by having scaly rhizomes rather than tubers.
