Well it's almost happening,"sex in the corn field", we've all been waiting and it's just maybe a couple days away. As you can see in the pics to the right these male's (the tassels) and good looking blondie females, (the emerging ears and silks)may not be married yet but probably almost engaged...They are admiring each other from afar maybe 3 to 4 feet apart...The tassels overhead are coming out the packets of pollin are starting to emerge, the silks on the emerging ears are growing out the ends of the ears and are irresistable...Gravity will play the part of cupid here in a couple days. Timing is everything in sex and it's no different in the corn field...At just the propertime the pollin packets will open and millions of pollin dust will fall downward and in most cases polinate the ear below on the same stalk of corn. That is called "selfing", something we humans are not crazy about but corn has no hang ups about anything. In some cases with the aid of wind well, its gets a little more exciting as the poling from stalk A just may drift over to the gorgeous blonde silks on stalk B or C even Z....Since all these stalks are the same hybrid or have basically the same parent families they are all cousins so whether they self polinate or drift over to another first cousin really don't make any differnce...
Hopefully in the next 10 days now the weather will cooperate and not be too intensly hot. Heat can kill polin so keeping it under a 100 degrees should be a fine inviroment for what will be going on out there. Not all ears are blondes, some hybrids produce red silks and some brown...Interesting isn't it we seem to do the same...The intelligent designer, our Father God, I think sometimes maybe got a kick out of designing similarities to play with our minds a bit. One thing you can count of for sure all this wonderment did not crawl up out of the sea weed and evolve...Only people with emence faith in wild ideas and not God would believe something like that....OK were off its gonna happen and we will watch it and I will tell you a little more excitement in the next few days...Stay tuned...
Be careful out there on those country roads this time of year...these gorgeous blondes, red heads and brunettes do turn a farmers head as he drives by...Keep a sharp eye sometimes they stray off the safe path rubbernecking these beauties....take care....
