Whilst picking my first sweet corn the other day I noticed some seeds
growing at the base of the male flowers.



If the top flowers are male and the cobs are female, what is the botanical
theory behind these ?seeds?.



Would they be viable (if they weren't F1 hybrids, which they are).



Would they be identical genetically to the ?female? seeds?

You haven't got a picture, by any chance?
