These don't have a cultivar name so they can't be found in the plant database. But I grew them and wanted to share photos as they were full of surprises!

I'll start with the Corn. I received all yellow corn seeds and planted them. Most of the seeds sprouted albino and died, but a few sprouted green and allowed me to grow them. Leaves were slightly lighter in color and plants only got about 4 feet in height. To my surprise, when the corn ears matured the seeds were yellow and purple! Between the albino seedlings, lighter leaf color, and surprise color in corn I had a lot of fun growing it. Time will tell if next generation will get any albinos.
