Mouse Ears on A Poinsettia?

Big Guy and I have tried to walk everyday since the passing of our Doodle. It was a daily routine in all kinds of weather with her, and we cannot let that habit go since it is good for our mental, physical, and spiritual health. We do not wish the ghost of our Doodle to come back and smite us!

We decided to go to the Missouri Botanical Garden. We were delighted to see we could get a preview of the holiday wreaths and the holiday floral show. We struck up a conversation with a lovely woman working the information desk and she said to look for the poinsettias with mouse ears. What? She continued to explain that the bracts were round instead of pointed like traditional poinsettias. In doing research on this plant, the Christmas Mouse Poinsettia is not only unique, but new to the market.

I suspect this will become a popular plant. I appreciate MBG is on top of this emerging plant by sharing it with the visitors to the garden.
