Salsify is an introduced species. The plant often stands three feet or taller, and the huge seed heads resemble a dandelion on steroids (inset). They are wonderful for dried arrangements. Spray them with varnish or hair spray to keep the fuzzies from falling.
365Caws is now in its 14th year of publication, and was originally intended to end after 365 days. It has sometimes been difficult for me to find new material, particularly during the winter months, but now as I enter my own twilight years, I cannot guarantee that I will be able to provide daily posts. It is my hope that along the way I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world. If so, I can rest, content in the knowledge that my work here has been done.
