This is called a "silk" and is on the end of what will swell and become a corn cob, provided it gets pollenated by the male flowers (tassles) at the top of the plant, or by one on a neighbouring cane. Even if we didn't get the corn, I like the canes as "architectural" plants. :-))

Could you use a paintbrush to pollinate them?

You probably could, Scotsgran, but have never had to before. There are quite a few cobs forming, now. :-))

I love sweetcorn, especially home grown! So sweet, soft and juicy.

Hi Hilda! Yes, nothing like eating them straight from the plant, before the natural sugars turn to starch! :-))
