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!

Twinflower, Linnaea Borealis
Day 282: A drift of Twinflowers brings to mind a gathering of tiny faeries dancing on the forest floor, the slightest breeze setting the bell-shaped blossoms trembling on hair-like stems. The pale pink flowers are borne in pairs on Y-shaped stems arising from vining runners. Since this little beauty prefers to surround itself with dozens of its own kind, the massed effect can be breathtaking. Like faeries, it is a creature of the forested zones, and loves cool, moist woodland areas.
