I'm growing some heirloom corn (Hickory Cane) I got from the Southern Exposure Seed Exchange. It has a low germination rate, so I'm doing it in flats to maximize my chances. This morning, I spotted this guy. I wonder why it's like that and what that means. If it turns out to be its own variety, I'll name it Honky King, Crackerlicious, or George Will.
edit: albinism in maize is caused by a gene mutation that also keeps the plant from producing chlorophyll, hence the white leaf and the imminent death of same.
