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!

Ring In Spring
Day 192: Substantially taller than Snowdrops, Snowflakes (Leucojum) are similar in height to English Wood Hyacinths and each white bell is accented with green dots at the tip. They are easy to grow without becoming invasive (anyone who has ever tried to eradicate English Wood Hyacinths from their garden will appreciate the difference), and will naturalize readily. They bloom somewhat later than Snowdrops, so if you're looking for another way to ring in Spring, Snowflakes are a good bet.
