This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Bright Star
Day 32: To encourage bloom and to ensure crisp colour unmuddied by blush tones, Zygocacti should be kept cool during the winter months. While blush doesn't matter much on the pink/red/fuchsia shades, it ages whites and yellows prematurely, and makes them appear as if they're already fading. I keep my Zygos in the back bedroom with a baseboard heater turned down low. Set back from the window roughly 8-12", they receive south light for about six hours a day. Morning and late afternoon light is filtered by trees.
