Stages of Cotton Development

Rutherford County, TN

More mature bolls, and some to the left, just opening. It will be about 3-4 weeks...Will show you how it looks afterward.

Nice set of thorns, wouldn't you say?

I wonder if the cotton is harvested by machine? A lovely shot, and most interesting
to see the different stages.

Those thorns are wicked. I had no idea that the cotton plant was so cruel.
