The Cherokee bean puts up brilliant scarlet spikes from poor soil. It is always a marvel to me that some of the handsomest wild flowers grow profusely in the barest places.

切诺基豆从贫瘠的土壤中长出鲜艳的猩红色穗状花序。一些美丽的野花在的地方大生长，这对我说总是一个奇迹。

Below this point the climate is no longer arctic. Butterflies become larger and more abundant, grasses with imposing spread of panicle wave above your shoulders, and the summery drone of the bumblebee thickens the air.

Each grain on the cob is the starting point for a thread of silk; and, unless the thread receives some particle of the dust which falls from the tassel flowers, the kernel with which it is connected will not grow.

玉米穗轴上的每一个颗粒都是一束丝状雌花的起点，除非花束获得自于穗状雄花的微粒，否则它所连接的内核就无法成长。
