“Gardenia rebuilds her orb every single night and considers each one her masterpiece, which is correct.”
A Dew weaver of The Orbweavers
3 known connections · an open question
Gardenia hatched beneath a rose trellis in a garden that has been loved for forty years. She has rebuilt her orb every night of her adult life, and she will tell you — if you ask, and even if you do not — that tonight's is the best one yet.
Tonight's web is nearly done: thirty-seven radii, a perfect spiral, one dewdrop already caught at the hub. She is standing at the center, very still, daring the morning to arrive before she has finished admiring it.
Every autumn the frost takes her garden, and every spring someone new hatches beneath the roses. Gardenia insists the next one will be her. The garden believes her.
“Gardenia found her orb re-tensioned one morning — every radius perfect, the spiral tighter than she weaves it. No visitor, no vibration, no explanation. She has not told the others. She rebuilt it exactly the way she found it, just in case.”
The First Spinner visits the orbweavers' webs and leaves no footprints.
The geometers: garden spiders, golden silk-weavers, the spiny and the patient. Every orb is a theorem proved in silk, and every theorem is signed.
