silk, cornfield, next to Centre Presbyterian church, PA

            There's a lot of corn (maize, Zea mays grown in the world. Part of a successful corn plant is the silk, which serves as a pathway for the sperm to fertilize the egg, in the embryo, deeper in the ear. Aren't you glad that the system works?

I like the fuzz on the back of that leaf.

Thank you for looking. Isn't God a great artist?
