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!

Indian Plum, Oemleria Cerasiformis
Day 144: One of the earliest spring blooms, Indian Plum (Oemleria cerasiformis) is a twiggy deciduous shrub common in western Washington. Also called "Oso Berry," it bears small oval fruits in a cluster, pale when immature and reddish-black when ripe. Although the fruit is considered edible, it is rather bitter and best left for the birds.
