A-maize-ing grain...

305/365 - Our Daily Challenge - "Ears":

 

In honor of Thanksgiving, a few ears of Indian corn. If you're curious like me about why we call them ears, I found an explanation here: ear-of-corn.blogspot.com/2011/07/why-is-ear-of-corn-calle.... I love all the colors and the white ones almost look like pearls to me. Better on black....hit L if you have a second.

 

PS....Super corny title! lol (no pun intented)

 

One of the things I love about this group is the information shared from around the globe. I learned today that our European and Australian friends have never seen this type of corn before. Yes, it is real...there's a description further down if you're interested. I learned some new things today.
