Is the leaf color kind of greyish/tan with farina?? like Lola or Lilacina? I can't quite tell from the photo. It's too ruffled to be either of those, but I think I have your plant too and can easily pull up the ID if yours is grey/tan/white with yellowish tan near the leaf ends??

I don't think it is either of two mentioned exactly as Lisa wondered - the leaves of those are not ruffled. Perhaps E. shaviana? (Or maybe 'Blue Curls'?) Shaviana's leaves should be greenish-pinkish color - but color of leaves could change a lot depending on light they were kept in. Blooms are supposed to be of rose color.

Thanks for the ideas Lisa and Rina. The color of the leaves is kind of olive green with purplish overtones, much darker than Lola or Lilacina. Maybe tanish is in there too. It has been in full sun outside all summer.

I had a Shaviana once and it seemed pinker in color than this plant, but maybe. Blue curls looks pinker to me too, but maybe. I have never seen one in person.

Here is a close-up for leaf color, and a comparison with what I believe is Lilacina.

For me it is E. shaviana - like. Maybe hybrid. The flowers seem to match with shaviana. I add two pictures to compare

this plant was once id-ed by Rosemarie as a hybrid. Sad enough: it died after the flowershow.

Thank you for the pictures Harry. Looks like Rina was on to something. Your dearly departed shaviana hybrid looks a lot like mine. I'm amazed how tightly it is closed up in the first picture!

I will label this as E. shaviana hybrid.
