Summary

[edit]
Description
English: (1 in a multiple picture set)

In 2005 I went back to my hometown and found one of my high school 'Class of 63' friends on his farm just north of Perkins, IA. He gave me a tour of his place and was especially proud of his corn crop. He told me something I never knew about this plant. The hundreds of silk threads that stick out the top of the ear of corn each run down to a separate kernal. These are the female organs. The brown tufts at the top are the male organs. There, that's your botany lesson for today.

I was contacted by a company in the USSR who wanted to use the picture on a refirigerator magnet. I okayed it and several months later got a sample. In the bottom corner it says 'United States' in the upper corner, it says 'Iowa.' So now I am and international photographer. (But their magnet doesn't stick to metal.) Ha!
