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.

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.
