Can anyone tell me what this lovely flower is? It feels like velvet on the inside. Thanks 😊

Gloxinia?

But a picture would help Grin

Lambs Ear?

Petunia.
The purple one in particular is very velvet like.
A picture would help enormously 😂

It's a protea.

It's a protea.

Yes, I agree.
They're native to South Africa

Yes, a Protea. Unfortunately not hardy in the UK, unless in a very sheltered South West locale. Or the Scilly Isles.

I'm afraid that's definitely an Audrey II Grin
