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!

Chance And Choice
Day 232: The columbine pictured here is one of the "pinks" which came with my house. While the yellow skirt makes it almost acceptable, it is still one of the colours I have been systematically relocating to other parts of the yard because when I see it, I think "pink" despite the fact that it is almost dark enough to qualify as red (if not the bright red of our native variety).
On the other hand, this is the calibrachoa ("Million Bells") I selected to go with bright red geraniums in my hanging baskets this year. Okay, it looked redder at the nursery, but even so, the overall palette is almost identical to that of the columbine. I think I owe the columbine an apology; clearly, my logic is not consistent.
