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!

Pacific Bleeding-Heart, Dicentra Formosa
Day 206: The charming shape of Pacific Bleeding-Heart's pillow-puff blossoms endears it to young and old alike. This plant invokes an aura of faeries and fantasy, as if at any moment, a tiny smiling face and a pair of gossamer wings might appear from within its lacy foliage. The stems break easily, so mind where you tread If you go hunting for the wee folk in a glade of Bleeding-Heart.
