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!

Bog Rosemary
Day 175: Yeah, yeah...I know it's pink, but once those obnoxiously coloured flowers fall off, Bog Rosemary's beautiful silvery grey-green foliage will be a delightful addition to my garden. Known also as Andromeda, Bog Rosemary is not related to the spice. In fact, it contains toxins which may cause a variety of unpleasant reactions if ingested. As the name implies, this mounding ground-cover prefers moist soil, and was therefore a good choice for the buttercup-infested north side of my carport.
