365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.

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?
