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.

Western Wood Anemone, Anemone Lyallii
Day 256 (Part B): Western Wood Anemone, aka Lyall's Anemone is a relatively uncommon species which may occur in lowland forest to subalpine regions. It prefers a habitat of shady woodland. The inflorescence (flower) can range in color from blue to white (occasionally pinkish), and it can be distinguished from A. oregana by observation of the stamens. A. oregana generally has more than 35. These specimens were noted at the west end of public parking at Longmire on June 15, 2013.
