Yeah, he's just a normal. I was talking to the breeder that I bought him from about 4 years ago and he said that every once in awhile some of the kids grow up and explode with some intense color. I sent him an email several months back showing him how this guy has been doing over the years. Sure enough, this is one of those corns he was talking about.

He was the first baby I saw at the table, unsexed. So I took him just because I've always wanted a corn. I got lucky. Turned out pretty good me thinks. :)
