365 Caws

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.

Forget-Me-Not

Day 213: Tiny Forget-me-nots have a universal appeal. All subspecies of this plant were introduced from Europe to North American cultivated gardens whereupon it escaped into lowland meadows. This species (Myosotis sylvatica) is characterized by both blue and pink flowers. The seedpods take the form of small soft burrs with a particular affinity for hikers' socks.
