My sister-in-law photographed this cotton field near their hunting property in rural Olar, South Carolina, edited in Topaz software...
Cotton is a soft, fluffy staple fiber that grows in a boll, or protective case, around the seeds of the cotton plants of the genus Gossypium in the mallow family Malvaceae. The fiber is almost pure cellulose. Under natural conditions, the cotton bolls will increase the dispersal of the seeds. Although cultivated since antiquity, it was the invention of the cotton gin that lowered the cost of production that led to its widespread use, and it is the most widely used natural fiber cloth in clothing today. In the United States, cotton is usually measured in bales, which measure approximately 17 cubic feet, and weigh 500 pounds.

I had never seen cotton going in fields till I moved to North Carolina. I want to go pick a branch just to have it. This image in itself speaks volumes about history.
