The gardenia I am useing is a dwarf form called Raddichans(sp.) It gets blossoms about the size of a dime or nickel.
I prepared the pot by cleaning it with soap and water, sanded off some lime deposits, and gave it a coat of mink oil for protection this winter.
I bent a loop of wire through the drainage hole and made little ears on them so it wouldn't pull through.
Notice the crab emblem on the bottom of the pot. One of the more famous kilns in the tokonome region of Japan.
