Here’s just a selection of the Glass Gem corn I grew this summer. As you can see, the range of colors is incredibly wide, both within each cob and between different ears. Glass Gem is a color lover’s dream. There’s something here for everyone, whether you prefer your corn in nursery pastels, sophisticated navy, screaming magenta, classic yellow, or my favorite, all mixed up teal green, purple, turquoise and pink.
These photos aren’t digitally altered, nor did I use any special shooting setup—this really is what this corn looks like. I just snapped a few shots with my phone as I lay the corn out on the garage floor after shucking.

Those are just absolutely beautiful! What are you going to do with them? (Other than just sit and look at how pretty they are!
)
Stay tuned, Sarah. I’ve already started making projects with them!
Yay!
I’ve never seen corn like that! So pretty. That top picture is frame worthy! (The fourth one down as well)
I’m glad I found your blog, I enjoy your posts~
Have a nice weekend!
I hadn’t thought of framing them, but that’s a great idea, Steph. Thanks for reading!
