They look almost as good as the Pima Cotton Fields here in Pima County, Arizona, but not quite. Your flower are much smaller.

this year we had three months of virtually no rain so the cotton balls are not as large or numerous as other years but pima cotton is famous in its own right

they are harvesting today. each bale weighs 5,000 pounds...off to the cotton gin to get seeds out on flatbed trucks is next then on into thread and cloth....100% mechanized today. on this plantation in 1840 it would all have been done by slaves.
