two varieties of teosinte...two types of flowers...northern tepehuan on the left, zea mays parvaglumis on the right...
the way the parvaglumis flowers look while and after they emerge...
far more closely resembles the flowers of the perennial strain zea diploperennis...her emerging in the perennial garden project in october of 2013...similar looks and timing...devil genetics...
in the meantime the northern tepehuan teosinte continues to develop ears and seeds...it's teosinte time..i have waited all season for this...sue me if i go on too long to suit you.
Organic rather than transgenetic. Labor instead of chemicals. Diversity in place of monoculture.

About Me
- fred
- an ex- industrial worker ( the continued automation of jobs, condensing of ownership, plant closings, trade wars, and degradation of living standards here has rendered me a former industrial worker...now just part-time lumpen proletariat) and university student (everyone needs a hobby...my hobbies have evolved and, to keep things straight, i have left my formal student career behind for reasons that are too detailed to delve into here...continuing to be a student of life however and not adverse to learning...stasis is death ) sliding down the back side of middle age...a social loner with collectivist leanings...explain that.
