sweetcorn genetics question

[Alan]

Wow! There are certainly some interesting genetics and selection opporotunities presented in these seed populations, could go a lot of ways. The only issue I think with the speckled trait in sweet corn would be getting it to express in the seed in a way where it is as noticible as it would be in flint or flour or even dent varieties. Very pretty and thanks for the pics. Don't feel bad about not knowing how to post two pics at once, I own the darn site and I still have issues posting pictures!

actually, most of what's in the boxes will likey have the fate of staying as non sweet corn; as I thought I mentioned, I've was working on a spotted hard corn long before the spotted sweet kernels came into my posession. A spotted sweetcorn however pretty is ultimately going to wind up a novelty, and as most sweetcorns dont really "color up" until long after you'd want to eat them) a pretty private one. Next spring is devoted to that spotted cancha, I promised someone I do so, and I'm a man of my word. as metione dthe quatity of spotted sweet is pretty small, as is the sweet cancha (the twelve kernels you can see in the bottom cell is all of it) so I'll likey put those into cold storage, as it will proably be several years before I have the sapce to play around with those, unless the next year finds me somewhere where I have access to the acres I'd need to plant everything all at once and keep everything discrete. BTW there is actually a third corn box (as well as some extrneous vials) but thatr one has the little kernels (some of which are also specklad) and I thought that one wouldn't scan very clearly.
