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.

Blue-Eyed Mary
Day 244: Collinsia parviflora (Blue-Eyed Mary) is not an uncommon plant, but it is very easily overlooked because of its diminutive size, as demonstrated when put in a "Penny Perspective." A closer look at the corolla reveals four white and blue lobes smiling up cheerfully from the tip of a downward-pointing tube. Mary is a lover of moist places and seeps, and can be found in both the forest and subalpine zones.
