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!

Large-Flowered Collomia, Collomia Grandiflora
Day 287: I'm afraid I can't resist posting a wildflower photo taken during my bike ride yesterday. You see, Large-Flowered Collomia is somewhat uncommon in Western Washington, and the only place I know that it occurs is on the prairie. Primarily a plant of the east side, it grows in open to lightly wooded areas and meadows. The flowers form a compact head, and are a pale yellowish-salmon color which is most unusual and appealing. The stamens bear dark blue pollen.
