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.

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.
