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.

Spoon Among Mums
Day 359: Each autumn, I am tempted by the displays of chrysanthemums which populate the entryways of all the home-and-garden stores. Occasionally, I break down and buy one, figuring that a few short weeks of fall color is worth a couple of bucks. This year, I got a surprise. My 'mum from last year sprouted from the root and burgeoned into a good-sized plant, even crowding the Osteospermum ("Spoon Flower") adjacent to it. Now that's a good return on your dollar!
