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.

Shirley Poppy
Day 310: Shirley Poppies are your grandmother's poppy. Smaller than Oriental Poppies and with a much wider color range, they are easy to grow and will reseed themselves freely if your kids don't pick all the "pepper shakers" at season's end. They come in both single and double varieties (single shown here). This old-fashioned flower is guaranteed to brighten any scatter-garden. Heck, I don't even mind that some of mine are pink.
