365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Wisteria
Day 190: Unseasonally warm weather (read, "temperatures in the upper 80s") has brought several plants in my yard into early bloom, notably the red dogwood and wisteria. The latter was barely showing buds a week ago; today, a purple cascade tumbles down the east corner of my carport. In past years, this untidy, rampant vine has been a sporadic producer, generally showing less than a dozen clusters before its leaves emerge and dominate the display. I've pruned, and I've not pruned, learning in the process that the plant has a mind of its own. No measure on my part seems to make a difference to its behaviour, so other than taming it to prevent its invading the rafters, I'll allow it to have its run.
