The tassels are out at the top of the corn stalk and the ears of corn are developing along the sides of the stalk, with the corn silks beginning to emerge.  The corn silk starts out red in color and will turn yellow as it matures.  Soon the pollen from the tassels will fall onto the corn silks, and then we'll have pollinated Sweet Corn, which will cause the kernels to develop on the cobs.  The corn silk dries and turns brown as the ear of corn ripens.
