It grows best in hot humid climates, with wet and dry seasons flowering approximately 100 days after being sown from seed. The pretty flower dies after two days, leaving the seed pod which bursts open 50-80 days after flowering, revealing the fleecy cotton fibres which are ready for picking. Flowers appear over a long period of time, so there is a long harvesting \/ picking season.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOriginally picked by hand, cotton is now harvested mechanically, although some hand picking of high quality cotton still remains. The picked cotton is ginned (passed though a shaker) to separate the cotton fibre from the seed and then classed\/graded. Cotton fibres are white, short, non-lustrous and uniform, more so than other plant fibres. Sea-Island and Egyptian cotton are the longest variety compared to shorter varieties of upland origins. Cotton is used for many purposes and is relatively inexpensive.
