Yep! Agreed on the fuzzy plants! S. leucotricha is a killer when you see an old tuber with many crowns in full bloom.

I don't grow S. leucotricha but will get a tuber as soon as I find one for a reasonable price. I just don't have the patience anymore to grow a plant for several years until the first bloom.

That's why I'm so happy with my S. 'California Gold' x leucotricha. The plant seems to have a good amount of the silver leucotricha hairs and it's only in it's third growth cycle. I hope that it has inherited the "increasing fuzziness with age"-gene from leucotricha... :)
