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.

The Full Suite
Day 35: I can't remember a time when my Christmas cacti have come into bloom simultaneously (not every pot, but every colour), but this year, they've decided to compete. Let's look at each candidate's merits.
Scarlet: She's tried and true, an old-fashioned girl, one of the originals. There's no denying she's brilliant, and that red will stop you in your tracks.
White: Blushing and modest, this delicate maiden brings grace and elegance to any setting. As fragile as she appears, her strength and sturdiness make her a reliable performer.
Picotee: "Flamboyant" is the word which springs immediately to mind when this lady bursts into bloom, but she pulls it off without pretension. In vibrant skirts, she could be a dancer.
Yellow: Novelty is this beauty's long suit, and with it, she'll knock your socks off with her unique and breathtaking hue. She is not at all shy with her displays, producing larger flowers in abundance.
