Annie,
My OM dwindled to "infanthood" last year. I've moved it into a spinout bag and it's recovering slowly. I also moved it to a spot where it's getting more sun.

I'll post a pic of the OM that made me keep on trying.

Mine has also "ungrown" in a pot.

I took this pic of Don Budd's OM while on a tour of his garden. It's situated in front of a cedar hedge. I understand that cedars are thugs when it comes to root competition. Maybe we just got duds? I'm thinking of trying another vendor for a second OM.

Irawon, kudos for your efforts to make things work for the OM in your garden. Your picture is just funny - poor tiny little OM.

OK, in the same vein as don_r's photos of his Jurassic hostas, we need a photo of Irawon's microscopic OM with a person standing behind for comparison.

Christine, that is very funny! I can't get anyone around here to oblige...they're all camera shy.

Then it's up to leafwatcher.

In Delaware - sound familiar. Lost two duds from the same vendor - gave some other deserving hosta its place.

I also acquired my OM from Budd;s Gardens and I too was inspired by Don Budd's large speciman. Mine is now in its third year - grows in almost full sun and gets watered every day - and seems to be doing just fine. It still has quite a ways to go to reach full maturity.
