One of my personal breeding accomplishments for a beautiful flour corn that is productive and short. I only breed with landraces, no hybrids and especially no GMO. This is a landrace hybrid that has 5-6.5 foot tall stalks bearing two or three ears each of speckled kernels in shades of white, yellow, purple, red, blue, and then solid blue-purple kernels. Ears are 6-7 inches long and usually fill completely. The name honors a local Tennessee botanist who passed away in 2014. She and another colleague rediscovered the extremely rare and then thought to be extinct Tennessee Coneflower, Echinacea tennesseensis. She helped seek federal protection for this species and rallied support for the protection of the very unique and rare limestone cedar glades that the species as well as many others call home.
