Default Sweetcorn and the Fluffy Bits

"John Vanini" wrote in message
I've noticed that on my sweetcorn one of the top fluffy bits (sorry about
the technical language!) has developed into, what looks like, an ear of
corn but is much smaller, a bit sad looking, with kernals missing and
mis-shapen, and some dark in colour. It, obviously, has no sheath of
leaves and looks most strange..


Do you mean that the cob developed without leaves on the outside of the cob?
If so where did the tassel grow from?
