Last time it was the <a href="http://geyserofawesome.com/post/22611362108/this-awesome-creature-yes-this-really-is-a">Jewel Caterpillar</a>. Now we have the prettiest ear of corn we’ve ever seen.</p> <p>This is the aptly named Glass Gem Corn. The photos are from <a href="http://secure.seedstrust.com/">Seeds Trust</a> (“a 25 year-old family seed company dedicated to teaching you to save your own seeds, grow a delicious home garden and create stunning native landscapes”) who shared the following background story about this stunning vegetable:</p> <blockquote> <div>“Seedsman Greg Schoen got the seed from Carl Barnes, a part-Cherokee man, now in his 80’s, in Oklahoma. He was Greg’s “corn-teacher”. Greg was in the process of moving last year and wanted someone else to store and protect some of his seeds. He left samples of several corn varieties, including glass gem. I grew out a small handful this past summer just to see. </div> <div></div> <div>The rest, as they say is history. I got so excited, I posted a picture on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=438865647723&set=a.438865642723.241474.190963032723&type=3&theater">Facebook</a>. We have never seen anything like this. Unfortunately, we did not grow out enough to sell. Look for a small amount for sale starting in August 2011.”</div> </blockquote> <p>Of course now we can’t help but wonder if it tastes as good as it looks. </p> <p>[via <a href="http://tywkiwdbi.blogspot.com/2012/05/glass-gem-corn.html">TYWKIWDBI</a> and <a href="http://pakagri.blogspot.com/2011/06/glass-gem-corn-colorful-varieties.html">Farming and Agriculture</a>]</p> </blockquote>http://pepperproxy.com/post/22913419080http://pepperproxy.com/post/22913419080Sat, 12 May 2012 10:49:16 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3u3tlftGI1qabo21o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>D30 shock absorbing putty.</p>http://pepperproxy.com/post/22815065530http://pepperproxy.com/post/22815065530Thu, 10 May 2012 18:22:33 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1vy0k2U1i1qh72m1o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://inspirationhere.com/post/20392898890/wee-hippo-with-postage-stamp-chris-crites">inspirationhere</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p>Wee hippo with postage stamp Chris Crites paintings.</p> </blockquote>http://pepperproxy.com/post/20392965490http://pepperproxy.com/post/20392965490Mon, 02 Apr 2012 21:06:37 -0700
