Sorghum has different varieties, such as grain sorghums, grass sorghums,
and broomcorn. The seed pods are more like lilac flowers less the petals.
Sunflowers have their seeds more attractively arranged.

I pretty much know what I planted. And where. For instance I planted my
popcorn as far away from my sweet corn as possible so that the didn`t
cross-pollinate.

There is a nice article on popping sorghum at WikiHow: If/when I pop some
I`ll use my Stir-Crazy popper.

And I found this recipe using sorghum flour for a cake. Only alteration
I`ll make is to use my bundt pan.
