I want him to replace the rice with Quinoa as the protien is more than double. My Quinoa is still green and been waiting for it to bloom. I planted "Red Head" because it can withstand some rain at maturity without seeds sprouting in the head. We live in Portland, OR. and can expect late summer rain. Thank you for the great photos of the flowers. I've been getting nervous that I don't have color yet and now I know what to look for in the bloom. Still a little unsure when the flowers are mature enough to cut. Will find out.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2794794355178055092.post-25308001543953045512013-01-28T18:56:51.768-08:002013-01-28T18:56:51.768-08:00Wow, quinoa is awesome!
