This is a
picture of what came off our maize bed this morning. As well as an ordinary maize cob there are
two sorts of baby maize as well as half cob that had been eaten by parrots.
Over the years the
maize plants seem to have to developed so that many now have three cobs on each
stem instead of two. And the cobs are
more diverse. I think we are watching
natural genetic modification in action as the plants respond to climate
changes.
