This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

Summer Spoonful
Day 266: Since discovering Osteospermum "Spoon Flower" a few years ago, it has become one of my favourite annuals. It is a prolific bloomer and although it benefits from deadheading, it will still produce dozens of flowers even if you neglect the task. Like other Osteos, it can withstand drier soil than many annuals, although in the 90-degree temperatures we've been experiencing for the last week, I am keeping the garden well-watered.
