You would be forgiven for thinking this image was a close up of an intricate gem stone necklace, but it's not. It's actually something you can eat. I know extraordinary isn't it?
It's glass gem corn an amazing cross breed corn that is nearly translucent. It's not a sweet corn so you can't munch it as is. But it can be popped and ground for polenta and cornbread. I think it's quite dazzling. The seed is sold through a non-profit seed conservation organisation called Native Seeds/SEARCH.

Hi: You are right Mother Nature is wonderful. Thanks for stopping by. As for your question about my favorite tea cup. Not sure, I have a handful that are special to me. Have a wonderful week. Blessings, Martha
ReplyDeleteHi Martha, not your fav tea cup. What's your fav tea? I don't think you could possibly have a fav cup amongst all those beauties.

Wow they are so bright! I'm growing a mixed colour corn for popping but northing as bright as that.
ReplyDeleteI fancy doing some moss graffiti! I checked out the method and it seems quite easy - trouble is, the neighbours will think I'm even battier than they already thought.
ReplyDeleteAll adds to your eccentric appeal :)

Just think of the things you could write with that moss graffiti!
ReplyDeleteThe corn is amazing.
Hi Barbara, thanks for following and leaving a comment. I'm straight over to your blog.

How amazing, you would think it couldn't be natural! Liking the moss graffiti. Was watching a guy do it on Supergarden last night but fell asleep before the bug reveal! Who knows, it could be one for the Auburns.
