Several years ago, at Gruene Market Days, I saw a hanging basket of a plant that completely captured my attention. As it turned out, all of those plants were sold. So, Carl and I made a point to attend the next Gruene Market Days and buy one of them. This was just before the "2007 Great Freeze In The Hill Country"; we were living in our RV and had no room to bring our plants in so, therefore, our beautiful hanging basket froze.
In March or April, Carl came in grinning like the cat who swallowed the canary and presented me with one of the wonderful plants in a hanging basket. We just love the plant and are giving them to everyone we love. Each of the "ears" produces a flower than can be cut off and replanted to produce another donkey ear plant. They are SO beautiful and SO much fun!

I just potted some of my little baby ears, and I'm looking forward to having lots and lots of these plants around!
That was awfully sweet of your hubby to find your favorite plant! Sometimes the little things are the best! I love my little plant area by the front door - it's my little space.
