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.

Exotic Sarracenia
Day 266: Sarracenia's blossom grows more mysterious daily. In between where the bases of each petal attaches to the central structure, gaps are opening, but there is no evidence to suggest that the "orange" is going to split into a second set of petals. I am wondering if these gaps are another type of trap for the insects this plant consumes. I can say one thing for certain: if Sarracenia was bigger, I'd keep my door locked at night!
