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!

Yellowjackets
Day 240: The Yellowjackets are out! No, I'm not talking about the stinging insects. I'm talking about the pair of blooms on my Sarracenia "Yellowjacket." It's easy to see how the varietal got its name with its delicious lemony yellow petals. To be completely honest, I divided and repotted my carnivores this spring and the foliage is not doing well. Rubra has yet to put on any new growth after putting up several small, feeble flowers. The issue might be due to transplanting or it may be a response to too-cold winter nights on the porch. Although I could replace them fairly easily, I will still attempt to nurse these back to health. After all, they've been with me for quite a few years now.
