Stachys byzantina

Lambs Ear. Eve, like most children her age, loves the soft fuzziness of this plant. And, it's one of the only plants I actually let her pick the leaves off of in the garden. She's been a bit perplexed by the name. Her favorite stuffed toy is a lamb and is, appropriately, named "Lamie". Yesterday, I found Eve walking around with stuff sticking out of her ears. Upon further inspection, I discovered that it was, indeed, lambs ear. She pointed to it and said "Lamie". So, if you come to my house and see green fuzz growing out of my daughter's ear. It's not because I don't clean her ears.
