zea

a quick zea census...zea mays in a bucket in the frst photo ...second is northern tepehuan teosinte hitting about two feet tall...third is the three tillers it has produced ( so far ) and the fourth is of the elegant support roots it has begun to develop...the last four photos are a sampling of the zea may parvaglumis plants out there and the tillers they are producing...i see no sign of support roots there yet...or in the corn in a bucket either for that matter...this variety of teosinte has a much longer season and will, no doubt, develop a bit more slowly...there will be support root...in the teosinte and in the bucket too...they are zea after all.
