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.

Bella And Fitch
Day 282: Hoyas bella (left) and fitchii (right) weren't quite in bloom simultaneously, but they only missed by a day or two. Both bloom intermittently throughout the year with the heaviest flowering period coming during the summer. Hoyas come in a fairly wide variety of colour combinations in the warm shades, although I have yet to bring a yellow one into bloom. Bella and Fitch are the most prolific of the seven species I grow. Ilagiorum (red) is moving up rapidly in the competition.
