@Ridgerunner,
Sounds like you are having a very interesting year growing your named beans from 2016. It's amazing what these beans can do. Pods going from tough to stringless. Who would have known. Another example of segregation.
I planted some Blue Jay this year based on a single plant that did not succumb to BCMV about 4 years ago when all the other Blue Jays got it and died. Not a single plant looks like a Blue Jay as they are sending out a long stem but don't seem to want to climb. Very open looking plants with not a lot of foliage. Very easy to see through the plant. They just don't look right. I'll let them grow to see what the seeds look like.
