I only found out this year that cotton grows on bushes I still can't get over that I thought it was made from something else.

Not really bushes Katie Rowe, more like bushy plants similar to beans. I just traveled through the coastal area of S TX and saw lots of cotton fields. It is an amazing site for this Midwest farm girl. Here is a cotton field from a flickr site. www.flickr.com/photos/ahightower/1792399917/in/photostream/
