Got these beans from a friend. She just called them the "mystery beans". Pics of the young plant were taken about 5 weeks ago...no clue what it looks like now.Thumb of 2012-12-27/gingin/5f0d8a Thumb of 2012-12-27/gingin/b022c7 Thumb of 2012-12-27/gingin/adce7c Thumb of 2012-12-27/gingin/6a5f8d
Each cloud has a silver lineing if only you look for it.

Ginger, no idea what beans those are.

I likely will, Calin. The young plant was started by a friend of the person I got the seeds from. No idea if it's still alive.

The "Magic Bean" is a large, pink to reddish colored bean of the species Canavalia gladiata, also known as the Swordbean.

Young leaves seem to match .. mature ones look different.
