These photos of the glass gem corn have been making a lot of noise lately, and I really wanted to share this amazing plant with you. Just to let you know off the bat - this is real, not a hoax, not photoshopped. This is a type of corn called the glass gem corn. The story of this fascinating species of corn starts with a man called Carl Barnes. |
