I just ordered two things from Park’s Seed today. Their description of a new sweet white corn really caught my attention. It’s called Mirai, and they were almost breathless describing how people in Japan drive 100 miles to buy it at roadside stands. Here’s a quote:

Our Director of Seeds, Stephanie Turner, had the opportunity to sample Mirai last summer, and began negotiating to buy the seed that same day. “I have never tasted anything like it in my life,” Stephanie tells us. “I sampled it raw in the field, and it was all I could do not to eat the entire cob!”

It’s actually funny how hyperbolic their description is, but I’m falling for it this time. We’ll see if it lives up to the story!

While there, I also ordered some seeds for Geranium Orbit Appleblossom. It’s one of those fancy annual geraniums that is supposed to flower all summer. I hope it does.
