Nursery contributed plant descriptions

One of the prettiest members of the auricula section; plant it high in the rockwork and "in time it will form a sheet, the trunks are fibrous and woody, haunted by golden meal among the fibrosities of their coat, the rosettes built of handsome leathern foliage, thick and gray, picturesquely toothed, and with the ample toothing outlined, especially when the leaves are young with the thick golden meal in a conspicuous hem... flowers are of a beauty unbelievable, wide open saucers of the loveliest lavender blue, with infinitesimal atoms of white powder hovering densely on their eye". That was the species, 'Kesselring's is even nicer. ZONE 4
