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.

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.
