	Warren I. Pollock 
wrote comments about the many sports  of H.  'Blue Mouse Ears'  (which he termed 
BME) in 
	The 
				Hosta Journal (2012 Vol. 43 No. 2). He stated, "H.  
'Mighty Moe' and 'Desert Mouse' look very similar."  |

						 An article by
			
			Warren I. Pollack in 
			The 
				Hosta Journal  (2020 Vol. 51 No. 1) titled 
			Doppelgänger Hostas: Fancy Name for 
			Look-alike Hostas, included a long list of hostas  
			which various hostaphiles, published articles or other sources have 
			indicated "look" the same. Some of these are, in fact, the same 
			plant with two or more different names. Others are hostas that vary 
			in some minor trait which is not immediately discernable to the 
			casual observer such as seasonal color variations, bloom traits, ploidy, etc. So, as Warren mentions, hostaphiles may differ as to the 
			plants listed but then, their opinions are based on visual observations  and interpretations.  |

						 H.
			'Pure Heart' is included on two look-alike lists in this 
			article. Following an algebra rule I learned in the last century, if 
			A=B and B=C, then A=C so all the hostas on both lists should be 
			look-alikes...right? Also, all the hostas on both lists are medially 
			(center) variegated except for H. 'Mighty Mouse' which has 
			marginal variegation.  
			List #1 -  
			H. 'Holy Mouse Ears', 
			H. 'Mighty Mouse', 
			H. 'Mouse Trap', H. 
			'Pure Heart' and
								H. 'Snow 
			Mouse' 
			List #2 -  H.
								'Desert 
			Mouse', H. 'Mighty 
			Moe', H. 'Minerva 
			Mouse Ears' and
								H. 'Pure Heart'  |
