I have the pics showing seeds on the male sweet corn flowers. Can anyone
tell me whether I can post the pics here or if there's a binary gardening
newsgroup. My ability to upload to a website got lost in the mists of time.

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?
