gama reproduction
i counted fifty terminal spears on three gamgrass plants ( it looks like two but two have rather merged as they have expanded ) at the pgp yesterday...some just emerging, some flowering, and one really peculiarly shaped one that must've hit a combination of recessive genes...it might be interesting to grow a plant or two from those seeds if i can manage to harvest some before the seed head shatters...and if i can get the notoriously difficult seed to germinate ( those three plants represent ten percent of the seed si planted in the fall of 2009 )...last year saw an explosion of seed production and this year seems well on the way...the seed i harvested last year was destroyed by the fire...with luck this year i will be starting a new generation.
