    This plant has flowers resembling a streptocarpus but the foliage is not the same. It is fuzy and doesn't come from the center like usual cape primrose plants. I hope you can help me with this. Thanks fibernut or Lois

    Lois,
    My guess would be streptocarpus. Leaves can be either fleshy and sometimes velvety, but I feel the flowers always are a dead give-a-way. Mine sprouted flowers all up the stems, always thought they were sweet. Bloomed forever.

    You have your self a streptocarpus saxorum, its a great plant for indoor and it loves to go outside for the summer.
