Currently editing the latest round of pics. Here are some of my minis. BTW, I'm bored silly with the entire "Mouse Ears" family. Not stable, and many of them look like others in the family. Last winter I left the large planter with the family in my porch. I managed to lose a few of them and stunt others and except for 'Country Mouse' from a different family which I had meant to dig out and plant in the garden, I don't really care about the losses.

Anyway, on to other minis.

'Baby Bunting' is a fast growing, but very small blue mini. I now have 3 plants of it, but this one is the most vigorous.

'Blue Cadet' is officially a "mini" and I don't really understand why. I'd put it in the category of small. It's a lot larger than the above hosta, grows enthusiastically in this dark space where many hostas have failed. It makes a large mound quickly, but I've been training it into a border.

'Cherish' - did I mention that this one doe NOT thrive for me? But wait, I think I see a 4th leaf coming. Part of the 'Baby Bunting' family Hurray!

'Cameo' - another of the 'Baby Bunting' family is a lot more vigorous than 'Cherish'.

'Cracker Crumbs' is a vigorous mini which is bright yellow with a tiny green border when it emerges. It gradually green up. This one is also being trained into a border.
