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.

Variegated Hoya Carnosa
Day 261: Hoya carnosa is the hoya you're most likely to find in garden stores and plant shops. It comes with two foliage colour variations: plain green and varigated green and white. It bears large umbels (this one is almost four inches across) with a light fragrance. As houseplants go, it's virtually indestructible, although I have friends who claim they have never been able to grow one. I suspect the problem may lie in over-watering rather than under-watering, since this group of plants likes to go almost entirely dry between waterings.
