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.

My Very Own Fawn Lily
Day 190: Keep your fingers crossed! Two years ago, I transplanted two or three Giant Fawn Lily bulbs (Erythronium oregonum) from a piece of public land with no restrictions on gathering it. One was gobbled by a squirrel, and the surviving bulb made a leaf but no flower (or perhaps the squirrel ate the bud). This photo is from a few days ago. Today, the stalk is an inch or so taller and the bud is beginning to nod. I do love it when my horticultural adventures bear fruit!
