Kernels showing the diversity of walnuts and hickories. From my monograph on Juglandaceae «Die Walnuss». On the 2nd picture you will find some species information.
Colorful corn (Zea mays) seeds from various cultivars, some of these are known as ‚glass gem corn‘. I must try to do some colorful popcorn next season. (The seed coat appears to retain the same color when it bursts open, the inside is white as with all maize varieties)
