365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

The Middle Kid
Day 53: Poor Red is the proverbial "middle kid," often overlooked when the showier Zygos are bragging up their hybridized colors. It's hard to compete when your siblings excel in white and yellow, or take honors with fancy trimmed picotee. I've tried to afford this cactus some degree of dignity by bestowing a label reading "Vermilion" on the pot, the titular distinction my way of saying, "See? You haven't been forgotten. Thank you for faithfully flowering year after year after year."
