A Corn Experiment

When we visited the Farm Market back in September I picked up this cob of decorative corn.  I wondered if it would sprout if it was left in some water.

                               Within three days it started.

The sprouts started underneath the cob, the part that was submersed in water,
                            grew around it and straight up.

Unfortunately the ends of cob started to mould so decided to plant it in the garden.

A parent suggested planting it in the greenhouse since it had already sprouted.

I wonder if it will continue to grow?  We will have to remember to water it.
