Show time labels on points in a quiver plot (inside the plot)

Is it possible to label certain points, maybe periodically, on a quiver plot? I would like to show the time or date of periodic points on the plot to make it easier to navigate or distinguish. Any help appreciated! :]

I don't think quiver has any built-in labeling capabilities, but you could manually add text to any location(s) with text(x,y,'text string'). Here's an example with several text labels:

x = 1:3; 
y = [5 2 7]; 
strings = {'string 1';'string 2';'string 3'}; 

plot(x,y,'r.')
axis([0 4 1 8])
text(x,y,strings)
