Here are more details on my submissions:
21 Chasmanthe floribunda - yellow flowered version, open pollinated
37 Gossypium species - cotton seed - not at all an attractive plant, but interesting to grow once, to see: how difficult it is to remove the cotton from its protective covering (the boll) with its sharp edges; how dense the resulting ball of cotton is; how difficult it is to remove the seeds from the cotton, hence the need for the cotton gin. A history lesson in one plant. Plant in ground in late spring (does not like cold).
