If you were to lightly rub the leaves of this plant, you'd understand why it is commonly known as lamb's ears. This was photographed last week in the trough section of the Alpine Garden, during a light rain.
Botany resource link: The Wikipedia entry for the leaf is a great introduction to understanding leaves and leaf terminology.
