Silver grey appearance...



While technically NOT a flower... or at least a cut flower... (although this velvety silver leafed plant does indeed flower)... it has gained international
popularity for it's silver grey appearance...

With many varieties that include Cirrus, Cloud, Lace, Quick Sliver and Silver lace... (many pictured here)...

The Botanical name for this foliage plant is:
Cineraria maritima...

The common name is also shared by The Mayor of Thunder Bay Ontario, a British POW from WWII that was crucified for his faith, and two American baseball players - both outfielders... one for the Cincinnati Reds- the other for Chicago Cubs...

Also known as Silver Dusty- this cool, silvery foliage - is best known for it's wooly-felt like leaves that provide excellent contrast in both color and texture... whether it be in a flower arrangement or flower bed...
