	The ''ogi' (Miscanthus sacchariflorus) is also called the Amur silvergrass. It is a tall grass with a silky, plume-like flower. It generally blooms in the fall. The plant is not common in Heian poetry and seems not to have any particular seasonal association.		The ''ogi'' (Miscanthus sacchariflorus) is also called the Amur silvergrass.

 == Snow ==
 Snow is of course a winter image, but it is also used in early spring poems. In the old lunar calendar, spring began in what is now February, so spring snow was quite common. It most frequently occurs in spring poems when the poet confuses it for white plum blossoms, or when the poet wants to emphasize that the scenery does not match the calendar.

			== Start of spring ==

			立春 (''risshun'') is the beginning of spring on the calendar. Usually in Heian poetry, this logical beginning defined by the calendar is contrasted by the cold weather, snow, or other features of winter that still linger.
