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.

切诺基豆从贫瘠土壤中长出猩红色穗状花序。一些最美丽野花在最光秃秃地大量生长，这对我来说总是一个奇迹。

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.

在这一点以下，气候不再是北极。蝴蝶变得越来越大，数量越来越多，长满穗状花序草在您肩膀上起伏，大黄蜂夏日嗡嗡声使空气变得浓密。

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.

玉米穗轴上每一个颗粒都是一束丝状雌花起点，除非花束获得来自于穗状雄花微粒，否则它所连接内核就无法成长。
