Born Survivors © Yvonne Cornell 2013Botanical Inspiration Day #2: Nothing says SURVIVAL like the Erodium or "filaree" flowering plant with its corkscrew tail. This tiny inch-long fruit seed falls to the ground from its parent plant -- the tail coils and uncoils like a corkscrew in moist weather, digging itself further into the ground with each twist. Survival is the balanced dance between a flexible attitude and a stubborn will.
