Attractive To Bees
More of an orange red but really beautiful as they started blooming as the cutshorts were finished. I started some other varieties but rabbits kept them mowed down.

Took some more pictures today. Beautiful sunshine-y day!
'Wildtäler'. A somewhat later maturing bean for me this year, but very nice seeds. Quite difficult to get a photo of these dark seeds though. It's similar to Astrid, except that Astrid has smaller beans. Excellent production. I think the name means 'Wild Valleys'.
'Muni Chocame'. This is the write up I found for it:
AKA Ochoriwame from the central southern Sierra Tarahumara. Distinctive Jewel like bluish-purple-gunmetal gray mottled bean. Selected from original seeds provided to us from Joseph Lofthouse after his decades of growing and thus further adapting this bean to a short season. Beautiful beans on strong vines!
There seems to be about 3 color tones in the mix, and one of them has no stripes.
'Veitch Wonder'. I saw after taking these that there is somewhat of an unusual seed variant in there. I don't think it's an entire plant, just a few pods that made different seeds because there aren't many of them. Just love this bean!
'Zimbabwe Stones'. The pods were both purple and green, which explains the slightly different colored seed. These
remind me of 'Mrociumiere' except that ZS are considerably smaller seeds.
