northern tepehuan teosinte ears





unlike maize the teosinte has produced a multiplicity of ears so i brought a few in today and took some photos...the rest i will leave on the plant, covering it with frost cloth until the weather turns to the point i must harvest...i am curious to see if the seeds become those hard little triangles on the ear of if the harden after harvest...since this is the first teosinte i have grown to maturity i have no idea...we'll find out together.
