This is edible rice! Growing on the pond room at the San Francisco Conservatory of Flowers.

I have some seed I ordered (75 cents) and want to give it a try. I had some dwarf rice cultivar that was evergreen that I got from UC Berkeley 20 years ago. Lost it along the way.

Do you have a pond to grow it in?

No. Just a tub. For fun and for kids to see. Not for a real harvest. I think those shallow plastic tubs they sell for changing car oil should do.

LOL It will be great fun! Not just for kids either. I would love to see it.
