Meadows & Prairies

Can you ID this plant?

19 years ago

I have been torn between calling this a plant or a weed, not being sure what makes one or the other. But this plant was found in a meadow/pasture behind my home and I fell in love with it. It is far more furry than lambs ear and when I first saw it, it was filled with dew and sparkled like crystal. I dug it up and it is now potted on my patio for the last 2 months and seems very happy. Any idea what this is?
