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.

My Very Own Fawn Lily
Day 190: Keep your fingers crossed! Two years ago, I transplanted two or three Giant Fawn Lily bulbs (Erythronium oregonum) from a piece of public land with no restrictions on gathering it. One was gobbled by a squirrel, and the surviving bulb made a leaf but no flower (or perhaps the squirrel ate the bud). This photo is from a few days ago. Today, the stalk is an inch or so taller and the bud is beginning to nod. I do love it when my horticultural adventures bear fruit!
