I love when my ignorance shines!
I thought okeetees were a regional variant, and what are considered 'normals' are actually darker coloured?
Well when people say okeetee it can mean:
1) Your "normal" looking corn that is "uniform" colours, such as the one above but
2) more usually, referring to the naturally occuring corn morph from S. carolina, that people percieve to be the best looking normal corn. They include having deep red blotches, ringed by thick jet black borders, and has a clean bright orange base colour that is in high contrast.
They aren't a subspecies or anything, they aren't well defined either, it is just a name given for "perfect" examples. There is a history too it as well but can't remember it. I have it in a book somewhere.
The reverse okeetee is just an albino Okeetee, and yes the black boarders are white.
