Wild Wheat ๐พ
Wild wheat (Triticum dicoccoides) blooms in April reaching a height of 70-100 cm (2-3 feet).
Like most plants of the Poaceae family, the wheat plant is a stalk, made up of elongated spikelets along an axis.
Each spikelet contains two seeds wrapped in chaff and glume, and tapers off to a sharp, arrow-shaped head point on one end with two hard, long awns.
Wheat is self-pollinating, which means there is little exchange of genetic material through intermediaries such as wind or animals.
In June, the wheat ripens, accompanied by a variance, or polymorphism of colors; yellow, orange and black.
At the same time, the stalk with the spikelets comes apart, and each spikelet falls to the ground, with the arrow-shaped head in the ground and the awns pointing upwards, thus protecting the seeds from birds or other animals and allowing the next generation of wheat to grow.
The wheat is able to grow with a minimal amount of rain, and grows in rocky, chalky and basaltic soil.
Enjoy!

Did you play guitar, before or after taking these photos?
I'd love to listen.
Dude, it's a description of myself in, like, one short sentence. That doesn't mean I play my guitar in my yard surrounded by farm animals - sorry to ruin your picture of this idea lol ๐๐
