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.

Fitch Goes Nuts
Day 291: Hoya fitchii has gone berserk! There must be at least twenty umbels in various stages of opening, almost more flower than foliage on this, my most productive hoya ever, and that includes Hoya bella. The fragrant flowers are somewhat paler than previously, but still have a coppery-yellow hue with dainty magenta centers. I can't account for why this blooming period has produced so many, since I have not changed the manner in which I handle the plant's watering/feeding at all, other than to raise the pot a bit higher so it's out of Merry's reach.
