Marshall,
Looking at the photos of these two beans that I've posted both appear to have a subtle yellowish eye ring. So I am growing out the original 2013 Ringwoods seed this year (which had excellent germination) and will grow this years new seed next year again to see if the grow out sequence will lead to this bean that flowerbug says reminds him of Peregion.
I have never grown Peregion
Marshall you sent me samples of your collection in December of 2013. The Network growers have done a pretty good job of increasing and renewing those beans. Would you like me to send you small samples of them back to you wherever the quantity allows me to spare some seed. I have Molly's Zebra. It's on my spreadsheet as a Pole Snap. I obtained from a Alan Reynolds in Hercules South Africa. I'm wondering if the bean wasn't a selection from Bill Mollison in Australia. He's the developer and promoter of the theory of permaculture. Alan lives in South Africa and is from Australia and travels back and forth.
I keep all the extra seed in freezers here. So germination of anything we grow out should remain quite good for probably at least two decades.
I've still got your original letter envelopes that you sent your bean samples in to me. I also have your 2014 grow out of the seed I sent you of mine that you returned that year in the freezer.
