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.

Exotic Sarracenia
Day 266: Sarracenia's blossom grows more mysterious daily. In between where the bases of each petal attaches to the central structure, gaps are opening, but there is no evidence to suggest that the "orange" is going to split into a second set of petals. I am wondering if these gaps are another type of trap for the insects this plant consumes. I can say one thing for certain: if Sarracenia was bigger, I'd keep my door locked at night!
