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!

Changeup From Spoons
Day 185: Watson's didn't have any "Spoon Flower" Osteospermums when I was there last week, so after seeing some of the other beautiful colours available in standard Osteos, I decided to change things up a bit. I think these two will look lovely together in the big pot at the end of my sidewalk, and if any dark purple Spoons come in, I'll make a home for one just off the back porch. As far as I know, the spatulate petal form has only been hybridized in the white and purple varieties. I hope they're working on that red one! Osteospermums are easy to grow and put on a show all summer long. I've never tried wintering them over, but last year's Spoons held onto their leaves even past the first light frosts.
