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!

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!
