i just looked it up to see if this can be eaten, it says yes, but to get like this for ornamental purpose they let it get old on the stalk, if pickend when young and tender it is edible and got it's name because it is a natural corn and has not been bred like yellow corn to get sweeter. it was the natural the natives used and they used the stalks to die things... i love google... ha ha
That's what I call it. And I like to look at it too.
