Thanks Mick! Its so funny to see the scientific name because my friends call me 'Stachy' as a nickname! The number of nicknames you can get for Stacey is astounding it seems! haha :)

This is an African variety of Stachys. In the USA we have Stachys olympica or Lamb's ear. Very soft to the touch with a rather attractive purple flower stalk, just like this one. I looked up several but couldn't find a great match. I'm gonna go with S. ehrenbergii
