This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Inner Sanctum
Day 253: Audrey's vivid colours are fading now, but her mysterious blossoms are still as fascinating as ever. Under the central "umbrella," structures common to almost all plants can be seen. Style, stamen or ovary, none is particularly remarkable. It is only her manner of concealing them which renders her such a thing of beauty. She is elegant, this lady, knowing what to reveal and when to reveal it. The next time you put on short shorts or a pair of tight-fitting jeans, keep that in mind.
