>>378523>Painted mountain might be the colored variety I have. If not, I'll add some in. I'm looking for as much genetic variety as I can get. Covering the ears might work. The varieties that are generally referred to as earworm resistant have tight husks that extend a bit.Main article:

Painted Mountain contains every shade of color known to corn. Vivid oranges, golds, reds, and purples make the brightest fall harvest decorations. The 4-5 foot stalks bear up to 2 narrow, 7 inch long cobs. Can be eaten fresh. If dried, the grain can be ground into flour, boiled into hominy, or parched.http://www.johnnyseeds.com/p-5605-painted-mountain-og.aspx>Ultra-early, vibrantly colorful.>Developed for its hardiness, earliness, and colorful display in the mountains of Montana. Avg. 6-7" multicolor ears for decorating, easy grinding, roasting, or use in hominy grits. Also makes a high-nutrition flour. Avg. 4' plants.I've already harvested my PMC. It is really super early compared to all the other corn I've grown. It also had 3-5 ears per stalk and had multiple stalks per plant (tillers) which had their own ears of corn. They also grew to 6' and 7' tall. I only lost a few ears and that was due impart to my fault for not picking them sooner and the really wet weather we started having. About 5 ears started mildewing as a result. Everything else is fine. I've already made cornbread with mine. It is really good stuff.
