The “world’s largest corn maze” is opening now. Richardson Adventure Farm is located in Spring Grove, Illinois should your travels take you there. The maze trails are 9-10 miles spread through 28 acres. This year’s trails feature James Bond. Check out their website for more information, fun quizes, and a chance to try your skills at maze trivia. You can also see both the actual maze and the drawing based on which it was built.

And there’s also one of my favorites, the Corn Palace in Idaho. While the mural is already up, the Corn Cam does run 24/7. So far, I have always managed to miss the people installing the corn cobs that are used to create the murals but I think it must be pretty interesting.

On twitter today I saw a tweet about glass gem corn along with a beautiful photograph, which you can see here.

The tweet says: “Pre-colonization Glass Gem Corn, Indigenous to North America, regrown by a Cherokee farmer in Oklahoma. This particular corn is a mix of ancient Pawnee, Osage and Cherokee varieties.” Native Seeds Search has the full story here.

The corn is incredibly beautiful. It looks to me to be too beautiful to eat! But you can buy the seeds and grow it yourself.
