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!

Snap Shots
Day 317: I've planted an assortment of annuals in my flower beds over the years, and as most of us are wont to do, I've unintentionally allowed them to re-seed themselves, ensuring a succession of "volunteers." Some have proved to be bothersome. It took me several years to eliminate the last of the Lobelia, a plant which is fine massed in hanging baskets, but rather annoying when it pops up elsewhere. Likewise, marigolds are nice along a border, but have a tendency to turn up where you least want them to be. Snapdragons are another story. Who doesn't love snaps? I would prefer the low types to the tall ones, but that lanky, lemony one in the middle makes such a bright and cheerful addition that I've given it permission to seed to its heart's content in a spot where nothing else seems to want to grow.
