365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

Hoya Bella, Morning Light
Day 265: Hoya bella accepts anything I throw at it and never fails to reward me. It's been less than a month since I looked up and saw withered leaves ready to drop. I'd been very busy and hadn't given a thought to watering plants. I took it down, basket and all, hung it in the shower and gave it a thorough bath..."Foliar feeding," I said to myself. "One of these days, I'm going to kill it clear dead." Well, that time has not yet arrived. Here it is, in lavish bloom, its leaves plumped back up, happy as Larry. There must be at least a dozen umbels open and more to come. Amazing what a little plain H2O can do!
