Source: Webster's dictionaryAbout 500 greenish-yellow flowers occur in each hermaphroditic panicle. Source: Internet
Each panicle has a central axis from which a secondary axis emerges either with flowers (amaranthiform) or bearing a tertiary axis carrying the flowers (glomeruliform). Source: Internet
The grains on the top of the panicle ripen first while the grains in the lower parts need more time, making it necessary to compromise and harvest when the yield is highest. Source: Internet
Up to 100 flowers in each female panicle may be open each day during peak bloom. Source: Internet
