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.
