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.

Iris Superstition
Day 228: Tonight, you get Superstition, my favourite standard iris. Although it looks dark purple in this photo, it appears to be almost black in sunlight. And those two sentences required 90% of my remaining energy. Y'see, today was a Team Biota adventure; no, capitalize that "A" - Adventure. Why? Well, we were assigned the task of documenting and collecting herbarium specimens of a species heretofore unrecorded in the Park. A possible sighting had been reported to our Plant Ecologist by someone on the Owl Survey team, but it needed to be officially confirmed. Enter Joe and Crow.
No, I'm too tired to tell this story tonight, and it doesn't go with Superstition anyway. Call it a cliff-hanger, if you will. Tomorrow, then. I need another cup of tea and a good night's sleep. Oh, and some Tylenol.
