Old Warty Tree with Smooth Fuzzy Leaves

Today I began studying  for a painting of the Kalanchoe Beharensis Crassulacea Madagascar - a.k.a. Elephant Ear Tree.  I was struck by it when last in Bermuda where it stood gnarly and full in the midst of the garden at Rosedon Hotel.  Here's the watercolor sketch.
