I just sent off some money for a trio of Christmas corns. They are susposed to mature into corns have crimson red blotches and greyish/green coloration (red & green...hence the name christmas).

I've never heard much talk about them. A few years ago I remember reading that they are descendents of a locality of corns from an island off the coast of South Carolina. Is this true?

1) Does anyone know anyhting about the line?

2) Does anyone have any pictures...babies or adults?

I appreciate your time... I've been looking for these guys for some time... finally getting the bloodline!

Daufuskie Island (sp?). Bill Brant from Gourmet Rodent had them first, as far as I know. We got some from him and bred them for quite a while before getting out of them in the early '90s.

Some of them did have kind of a greenish ring around the blotch, but not all did. Bill Brant still breeds some, but they have been diluted with other lines and most don't still have the greenish rings. I got some from him last year, but they don't look very different from regular hypos. However, other breeders might have gotten some long ago, and kept the lines more pure, looking more like the "old" Christmas corn.

Thanks everyone for the replys... Kathy, your info is exactly what I was looking for. I really appreciate it!
