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.

Ring In Spring
Day 192: Substantially taller than Snowdrops, Snowflakes (Leucojum) are similar in height to English Wood Hyacinths and each white bell is accented with green dots at the tip. They are easy to grow without becoming invasive (anyone who has ever tried to eradicate English Wood Hyacinths from their garden will appreciate the difference), and will naturalize readily. They bloom somewhat later than Snowdrops, so if you're looking for another way to ring in Spring, Snowflakes are a good bet.
