Lenape White Flour Corn

The Lenape white flour corn has a much better appearance with the kernels exposed to dry.  From my entire harvest, I had only five cobs that I will save for seed to plant.  There is a silk for each kernel and if the silk is not pollinated, a kernel does not develop and the misshapen kernels surrounding it will not germinate!  I also only save seed from the corn that has eight rows as has been documented at the time of European contact.  Most of the cobs had 10 rows.  So I have five cobs with eight rows and complete pollination that I will save to plant in the spring.
