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!

Fairybells In Fruit
Day 314: My very own pet Prosartes hookeri, growing out under Big Doug, is fruiting, and I hope that means it will seed itself and fill in as I remove more and more of the Stinky Bob. I think my weeding efforts may have been what brought this native plant's seeds to the surface. In fact, Big Doug has two specimens of Fairybells growing at his base. The second did not produce berries, or if it did, they were consumed by critters unknown. Squirrels would be the most likely culprit, and the berries are edible by humans, although bland in taste. Perhaps my diligent program of squirrel relocation also played a role in these plants' occurrence in my yard.
