According to
The Hostapedia by Mark Zilis (2009), "H. 'Otome Gibōshi Fukurin' = H. 'Orphan
Annie'." Mikiko Lockwood in an article on The Hosta Library titled,
A Little About Japanese Hosta Terms defines the term otome as maiden, 'Otome Gibōshi' or
H. venusta and the term fukurin as margined or edged. |
