Mid August

Pima flowers still just getting going (yellow), while the green flowers are almost done (red above).


Fat Green.


Occasionally I get a yellow Pima blossom with a red center, like a tulip with a dark center. Very pretty and it happens on the same plants as the creamier yellow flowers. This one was a late flower on the bottom of the plant.

It is a waiting game right now. The plants are fully grown - about shoulder high on the green and a bit shorter on the Pima. The bolls are filling up very well, but I am still getting a lot of flowers. At this point, it is clear that the Pima is behind by about a week or two. I interpret that as Pima has a longer growing season.


Pima has triangular darker ones.
Green has round bolls.


Lots of flowers still coming on the same branches as bolls.

String of bolls.
