Corn is Beautiful


Have you ever looked closely at the leaf arrangement on a corn plant, particularly a large one when water is flowing down the leaves? They are arranged opposite each other and staggered down the plant, so that one funnels water to the other, on down to the roots. I know it has something to do with pollination, as the silks grow from the bases of some of those leaves to develop into ears of corn, but it is still a sign of how much fun God had creating this beautiful world.
