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.

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.
