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!

Iris Superstition
Day 228: Tonight, you get Superstition, my favourite standard iris. Although it looks dark purple in this photo, it appears to be almost black in sunlight. And those two sentences required 90% of my remaining energy. Y'see, today was a Team Biota adventure; no, capitalize that "A" - Adventure. Why? Well, we were assigned the task of documenting and collecting herbarium specimens of a species heretofore unrecorded in the Park. A possible sighting had been reported to our Plant Ecologist by someone on the Owl Survey team, but it needed to be officially confirmed. Enter Joe and Crow.
No, I'm too tired to tell this story tonight, and it doesn't go with Superstition anyway. Call it a cliff-hanger, if you will. Tomorrow, then. I need another cup of tea and a good night's sleep. Oh, and some Tylenol.
