I didn't buy this one - somebody left it on our table garden - a gift, I guess. I haven't seen a flower from it yet - don't know if it gets any bigger.

I've seen them before, but have never heard of 'dunnosia'.

I believe the first is lamb's ears. I know the second but cannot dredge up a name from the murky depths of my mind.

Thanks, for that much . . . the lamb's ear . . .

That second one I posted? I put it in under a tree - it seems to like a lotta' shade.

Right now, it's doing ok - didn't see any more flowers on it though.

Second one reminds me of a Brunnera. The 2nd pic of the 2nd pic has small flowers on it that resembles a brunnera to me.
