A-maize-ing

We're having lots of fun with the corn, even though it won't amount to much. No doubt it will be taller than Hopi or Zuni or Navajo corn, but it won't have the ears. Just as we love chile plants for themselves alone and their own beauty and scent, though (and they do produce), we also love the sight and feel and smell of corn plants, even though they seldom produce more than a puny ear or two apiece for us here.
