eastern gamagrass II

back on campus again i finally got some decent photos of the gamagras seeds developing...the usda and university of kentucky http://www.uky.edu/Ag/Forage/EGforCONSbio.pdf tell me that the seeds are called terminal spears and that they're growing out of a thickened, rhyzomatic stem called a proaxe...so the top photo is a terminal spear and the second is a proaxe ( in the center of the photo )...i counted fourteen proaxes on three plants so we may be in for a bumper crop of seeds this season with which i will try again to establish some at home...i germinated three northern tepehuan teosinte pklants in peat pots out in my yard...i plante done in my back yard and took the other two to campus and found spots in the wheat for them...the weather appears to be warming up and so the heirloom maize i got will be going in soon...we will have morphological comparisons between "wild and weedy"ancestors and domesticates again this year...the asparagus plant that hes "ferned" has also flowered ( bottom photo ) so there will be "berries" again this season which tempts me to try to grow asparagus from seed rather than year old crowns...all i need is space
