Kin to the yellow Glacier Lily, it is easy to remember which is which. Avalanches of snow are always white. Glaciers tend to color up with debris and age. Erythronium montanum is a flower of the high country, preferring elevations over 3500'.
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.
