		<description>Ummm... did &quot;old Injun Carl&quot; say this was okay to do?  The paragraph says he wanted Greg to keep his seeds, not sprout or grow or sell or disseminate them. I&#039;d love to grow some beautiful corn, don&#039;t get me wrong, but I don&#039;t want it going all Cujo on me.  Half a loaf with a blessing is better than the whole loaf with a curse. </description>

		<description>Same thing as normal, I would guess.

The kernel pops, the interior fluffs up nice and white, and the exterior is kinda buried under it. You&#039;d not really be able to see it well. Also, popping corn is specifically bred to have appropriate popping attributes, so there&#039;s a rather good chance this stuff can&#039;t pop.</description>

		<description>It is incredibly beautiful, but how does it taste? Is this a good boiling/steaming/roasting and buttering corn or is it just a decorating corn?</description>

		<description>Will it grow in zone 5?  And since it&#039;s listed as a flint corn, can I pop it?

Lastly, if you have some available in the fall, how would you reccommend seed storage for overwinter in zone 5?</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t decide if this is more or less awesome than what I thought it was at first (an ear of corn made of glass gems). It&#039;s still pretty awesome. </description>

		<description>That is some awesome looking corn. Where I grew up, the local farmer&#039;s always had a patch of Indian-style corn/maize growing to sell during the autumn.

I used to think that was the prettiest sort of corn I&#039;d seen. This glass gem strain is freaking awesome. I, too, think it looks like some pricey art glass piece. I&#039;d love to see it in person. Alas, both my thumbs are black. The only kind of plant I can handle is my lawn and even that&#039;s in bad shape.</description>

		<description> Well, indeed, we know nothing in particular about how easy it is to grow, how difficult it is to cook, what it actually tastes like, and so on, even if it does look pretty.

There do seem to be people who mourn the depressing, universal homogeneity of Peaches &amp; Cream as opposed to the wider variety that once was available, though, so perhaps this is a welcome development.</description>
