Both of your BMEs are just as cute as they can be! Great pics!

This one is 6 years old and almost 18" across. Those really do look like little mouse ears, don't they? I got his siblings "Holy" and "Frosted" last year and I wonder if their leaf shapes at maturity will be as adorable.

I'll be looking forward to seeing mine grow. It was new last year. This year I'm adding more of the family.

I'm excited about my BME. I already had to repot him as his roots were coming out the drainage hole. I got him as one eye and right now he's got about 5-6 new buds coming up around the origional. (somehow BME is a "he", lol, I guess its the beefy leaves

)

BME is at the bottom of this cascade of hostas. There are actually two of them there. Fast grower, looks good all year, takes some sun, has lovely blossoms...what's not to like? Ed, that last pic of yours in bloom is really great. I love the way you have it situated next to the rock.

I love it. A great chuckle on looking at your blue-eared mouse!

Wow, what wonderful and amazing pictures

I sure hope that Holy Mouse Ears and Frosted Mouse Ears turn out to be as nice as the original (or better) but if not this will always be a classic. I think this family of plants are my most anticipated for the spring!

Thanks for starting these series, Cowboy. They are terrific this time of year

I love the little mouse with blue ears! Too cute! I took some shots of my BME yesterday with the super macro of the new buds. I'm excited to have a little clump!

I'm so glad the forum is set up to the photos don't make you have to scroll back and forth to read!

Beautiful Photos everyone!

This is making Winter much more bearable,

What a great hosta growing lesson

Smart thing this month by month or year by year, easy to see how fast they can unfurl and how fast some of them grow

Thanks
