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.

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.
