Corn pollination changes kernel color

I knew this was a thing, that the kernel color can show what the genetics of the seed inside are, and that different kernels can have different 'fathers' but this shows it so clearly.

The bundle of 3 cobs all came from the same plant, the all-pink cob is probably self-pollinating, but you can see where the pink color changes to yellow/green because a new pollen source started dominating.

The two yellow/green cobs came from a plant that was next to the pink one; that was clearly 'daddy' :)

My corn is being weird

It's not even 3 feet tall yet but it's making tassels. This is ornamental corn, Glass Gem / Painted Mountain / Northern Lights mixed cross type. Zone 8b near Seattle.

Backyard D&D adventure with toy figures

Remember how much fun it used to be, when you were a little kid, to play in a dirt-and-sticks backyard with your action figures? Get some of those durable WOTC D&D plastic minis, get your friends and character sheets, and have your characters explore a strange pocket dimension where they seem to be shrunken down to the size of toys, and have to navigate through thick grass, giant tree roots, and watch out for Mom's prize petunias!!
