flowers and a sign

just some quick photos from today's campus visit...top is an eastern gamagrass flower in bloom ( probably the last of a remarkable [re]productive season )...keeping it in the grass family the next one is a mature hopi blue maize flower...there is a late flowering asparagus plant out there which will not have time to come to fruition but it has been poking along all season...you can tell the jerusalem artichokes are part of the sunflower family just at a glance...and the last photo is of the spiffy new sign out at the iu northwest community garden...neat.
