campus gardens spring to life (TEOSINTE!)

there are three annual teosinte plants up in the pgp ( two are in the top two photos ) and i planted a few more plus i am hoping 9 but not expecting ) to see plants from the seeds generated by last year's growth...but a few, evenly spaced plants would be great...even more gratifying, the bottom two photos are of new growth on the stand of perennial teosinte ( zea diploperennis ) i planted in 2011...survived the reasonably harsh winter and returning for a fourth season in the garden...i was concerned about this plant's future and the sprouts are good news..i will be unmulching the second, newer stand this coming weekend...the newer stand tried to flower late last season and while i think it unlikely because of day length issues, if nothing else. i would like to see that come to fruition this year...flowering or not the maize ancestor is back again.
