Thanks, Neal.

As I looked at these again today I was struck again by how lackluster and bland much of the foliage would appear without the lamb's ears. I've heard that a lot of folks don't care for it's vigorous nature, but I wouldn't want to be without it. It makes a wonderful living mulch. I just clip them all down in the Spring, and plant in between them. And they smell so good! The scent of the bruised or cut leaves and stems reminds me of raspberries, or raspberry lemonade. Smiling
