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.

Potted Gremlin
Day 325: Harry Potter fans will understand that when I looked up from the kitchen sink and saw this creature staring at me, I felt as if I was in Professor Sprout's greenhouse when the young witches and wizards were studying the section on mandrakes. While Adenium gremlins sit above the soil rather than be buried in it, neither do they scream (or at least not yet, not that I have heard). Still, it is a bit unsettling to find that you are being observed by something which is obviously not in a cheerful mood despite being given the best of care. Have I missed something here? What spells should I be practicing? What potions should I brew? How does one nurture a potted gremlin?
