Paul, I certainly didn't mean my comment about the Mouse Ears Family to be directed to yours and I hope you didn't take it that way. If you did, I'm sorry and please feel free to add it again.

Just for me personally, I'm tired of a whole family of plants that mostly look the same and are notoriously unstable. YMMV widely. I DO like BME itself and I've ordered another solid colour, but ruffly one of the family, but I'm no longer trying to get them all because I can't tell the difference between most of them. And this year 'Snow Mouse' has totally reverted to blue. 'Cat and Mouse' did it a long time ago.

Anyway, I've finished editing my pictures and here are some more minis.

'Grand Prize' is somewhat smaller than 'Grand Tiara'. I've only had it a couple of years and it was only planted in earth last autumn.

'Kifukurin Ko Mame' is one of my favourite edgers. A fast-growing, little plant, I have it in 4 locations and have had it for a very long time. It's hard to find now unless you find someone like me who will share (in Canada only though).

'Kinbotan' is another fast grower. Now in it's 3rd season with me. I divided it all up when I planted it in the ground last autumn and it will take awhile to fill in.

'Lemon Frost' is a fast grower. I've got quite a long border of it, though some parts of that border are still being filled in.

'Limey Lisa' is, I believe, classified as a mini. It forms a very dense mound and when I divided it a couple of years ago, I replanted what I didn't sell in individual eyes which have formed a thick mat.

'Little Red Rooster' - nice wavy leaves with red legs. Fertile too. I have quite a nice seedling from this one.
