This one stalk of popcorn has at least 8 cobs on it. This main stalk also has 2 more stalks from the base that has more cobs.
The popcorn tassels are strange on this variety. It seems confused. It has silk and a little corn like cob, but the rest of it is the tassel with the pollen that falls on the silk of the cobs to fertilize.
This is a big sunflower that is about to open up.
The new sunflower seems to be very tiny. It's about 3 in diameter. I started this plant in a 6 pack seed container and didn't transplant it very quickly. It was very root bound. I think it might have stunted it's growth. It's still very pretty. I hope the honey bees will like it. I want to have at least one sample for the Great Sunflower Project.
Here are the Black Hungarian's ready to be dried.
After several tens of hours in the food dehydrator they look like peels from an apple. They still needs some more time before they will be ready for making into paprika powder.
