I am not familiar with that variety or the Asian baby corns in general. They do grow somewhat like regular corn, but are grown for the miniature immatures ears which are eaten cob and all. The ads for Minipop say it does not need to pollinated, probably a developed ear is not very palatable. Multiple small ears emerge from the side of the plant. The tassel is the male flower that appears at the very top of the plant. On regular corn the tassel appears slightly before the ears. Your pots are pretty small and could be causing problems.
