Okay, back to trying to sort out who the real 'Saturn' is.

This is the written description Kevin sent me:

JungleShadows said:OK here goes.

Alpine Gardens:
Bronzy red and light green incurved velvety leaves with a silvery edge.

Betty Bronow:
Many incurved leaves make an open rosette of cinnamon-red. At times an inner glow of light apple green. Velvet. Large.

Helen:
Fringed and tufted velvety leaves reddish-orange rosettes. Purple-red tips.

Hope that helps!

Helen did introduce it for Ed in 1975.


Well all of these descriptions disqualify my 'Saturn'. Another NOID for me. Rolling my eyes.

We also have to wonder what time of the year each of the people wrote their description.
But the real 'Saturn' is suppose to have a velvet texture, with fringe along the leaf edges. That narrows things down.
I will start cleaning out my photos when I get home from work.
