Sinningia tubiflora

Pleasant succulent characterized by tuberous body, partially underground, of woody and rough consistency, which does not reach considerable size but, in the vegetative season, is completely covered by a pretty tuft of elongated leaves of bright light green color. The foliage has multiple symmetrical and well furrowed veins , only slightly hidden by the soft whitish down that covers the entire epidermis and makes it almost silvery under sunlight. The down, in addition to giving the exemplar a new charm and elegance, protects the succulent from the elements and makes it much more resistant! One of the strengths of Sinningia is undoubtedly the inflorescence: in summer the plant is adorned with white flowers consisting of a very long floral tube that opens only at the apex (hence the name of the species), able to emit very intense fragrances.
