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!

Osteospermum Spoon Flower
Day 187: Spoon Flower has become a "must have" annual for my garden. In size and growth habit, this unusual variation of Osteospermum is comparable to a Chrysanthemum, but the unique shape of the petals will make your guests do a double-take. The petals retain their rolled, spoon-tipped shape throughout the blooming cycle and although they benefit from dead-heading, it's not required to keep your plant in bloom. They come in several shades of pinkish purple to deep purple as well as white.
