backyard discovery







i wandered out into the jungle a minutes ago...just to check on the apple trees, jerusalem artichokes, and sundry other plants...when i got to the northern tepehuan teosinte i noticed it had produced three new structures, lower down the main stalk form the flower...these will bear some observation...they may be secondary flowers since this particular plant is over eight feet tall and doesn't show much in the way of signs of slowing down...or ( and this is my hope ) they could be seed ears beginning to form and ripen...more on this one as it develops.
