Glass Gem

Beautiful and a dear memory with my mom

I planted some about 5 years ago, and i had started to unpeel one when I realized it really was that ridiculous. So I handed the ears to my mom, who had dementia. She started peeling them and gasped, very clearly told me to close my eyes, and then only let me open them when she was done so she could surprise me. She was SO DELIGHTED. I cherish that memory- and she passed just a few months later. It’s time I grow some again. We all need some beauty and joy and whimsy and if pink and blue corn is the vehicle for it, that’s cool. Perhaps I’ll have friends over for an unveiling party.

Glass Gem

I have not had the opportunity to harvest the glass gem, too hot. But I have in the past harvested I'itoi sivol, variety of chilis, tomatoes and they somehow managed to survive the heat. But I am grateful to acquire seeds and plants when I can.

100% Germination rate

I am really happy with my glass gem purchase so far. I have succeeded in having 100% germination rate thus far. The corn is still in the vegetation stage but is vigorous. The leaf collars appear strong.
