PURELY DECORATIVE… CORN

 

Here you see Corn ’Black Aztec’ a delicious heirloom corn said to have been grown by the Aztecs 2,000 years ago. And a Zea mays 'Strawberry’, ruby-red rounded cobs produced in abundance on this highly ornamental variety.

Once dried, the kernels are simply the best variety for popping!

Flint corn (Zea mays indurata; also known as Indian corn or sometimes calico corn) is a variant of maize (var. Linnaeus), the same species as common corn.

Because each kernel has a hard outer layer to protect the soft endosperm, it is likened to being hard as flint; hence the name.

… et voila, Autumn in the studio.
