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!

Shirley Poppy
Day 310: Shirley Poppies are your grandmother's poppy. Smaller than Oriental Poppies and with a much wider color range, they are easy to grow and will reseed themselves freely if your kids don't pick all the "pepper shakers" at season's end. They come in both single and double varieties (single shown here). This old-fashioned flower is guaranteed to brighten any scatter-garden. Heck, I don't even mind that some of mine are pink.
