Ears of rice are growing vigorously!

Monday, July 29, 2024

Ears of rice are growing fast in the green rice paddies.

After the rice plants have emerged, tiny, pretty white flower-like stamens are glimpsed and hidden.

After pollination with the pistil, the plant proceeds through the ascending stage in which nutrients produced by photosynthesis in the leaves are accumulated in the endosperm as starch.

We express our unlimited love, gratitude, and prayers to the robust ears of rice that grow and mature day by day.

Tiny pretty white flowers
Tiny pretty white flowers
It is growing rapidly!
It is growing rapidly!
We give thanks for the life-giving power of ears of rice!
