teosinte in the pgp

i was at the perennial garden today and i was taking some photos of the grasshoppers that have turned up when i was startled to see what looked like a flower emerging from a stalk of teosinte...closer examination confirmed this to be so and turned up two more flowers for a total of three...these are on plants in the newer stand that was established this season from a different accession than the original stand..the older stand has never produced flowers much less seeds...and i am afraid these flowers will not fulfill their purpose...it is very late in the season and while i am geeked at their appearance i know no seed will follow...geeked and bummed at once...more photos for as long as the season lets these develop...cool...
