seed heads and vine

there are a lot of seed heads in the pgp today...the top two photos are a comparison of intermediate wheat grass seeds...the one on the left is from an accession of wheat grass from the land institute and the one on the right is from the bed of forage variety wheat grass i planted in 2010...an interesting comparison...obviously related and obviously different...the third photo is of an eastern gamagrass seed head and the fourth is of the ever multiplying terminal spears on the three plants...over one hundred and i can see more on the way...if i cannot start a stand at home with all these seeds something is terribly wrong...the bottom photo is of one of the ever aggressive chinese yam vines that has encased a wheat grass seed head and us looking to find more vertical space...a forlorn hope since there is nothing near that is higher than the end of the vine...these things happen.
