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).
