these have markings similar to a pinto and are not what i would consider just a pink bean.
i do actually have a plain pink bean somewhere around here but they are unremarkable and i've only grown them the one time way back when i first went from a few simple varieties to adding in more (2011) wasn't impressed by them and i recall they were easily marked by any extra moisture if we had rains. they did shell very easy, to the point of excess (shatter i think that is called).
i have a lavender bean this year or what may be called light purple. some are darker than others, it may segregate into two clumps. very productive but doesn't look to be very resistant to fungi. this is the first year i've seen it so much more to go with it in terms of seeing if it is settled down already or what.
amazing to think that i've only been growing beans about 8-10yrs here and already by various methods of trading, buying, crosses and selections i have more beans to play with that would take a lifetime to figure out.
i heart beans...
