365Caws is now in its 16th year of publication. If I am unable to post daily, I hope readers who love the natural world and fiberarts will seize those days to read the older material. Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

Big Hips
Day 343: Rugosa Rose won't mind at all if you tell her she has big hips, and believe me, they're enormous. They're also rich in vitamin C and can be used to make fragrant tea, syrup, jelly, marmalade or even wine, but be sure to use only the outer rind. The fine hairs found inside the fruit can cause an itchy irritation of the digestive tract if ingested in sufficient quantity. Rose hips may also be dried and used in potpourri.
