  It is with some pleasure that I wish to share with gardening friends the
  appearance of two eyes of Hosta 'Otome No Ka' (in a watermatic pot)
  after a long (more than 8 weeks) dormancy on the enclosed portch here
  ...where temperatures have hovered between 32F and 40F. This cultivar
  from Japan [the Fragrant Maiden Hosta] is said to be day blooming with
  a fragrant purple flower. Purchased (by mail) late last season, it remains
  to be seen how she fares this season...so far so good.  She will be in a
  south window during this winter season and moved to a northeast site
  with full morning sun once the weather allows.  Potted up in Southland
  Professional Growers Medium and the watermatic pot (from Australia)
  she should be a happy plant for the season...hope she blooms.  Soon as
  weather allows I will similarly pot up a hosta plantaginea 'Aphrodite' in
  hopes of bloom this coming season.

  Your comments are welcomed.
