| Hey, I was wondering if anyone could identify this bean?  I planted them up a while ago but cant remember where they are from! If it helps I did pick a couple of beans I found in France that were growing overhead and dangling down nicely. Thanks, Sam |

| Bad news, its not a bean. I suspect you picked a seed pod off a tree.

| Ah that makes sense. I didnt think it looked like any bean plant I'd ever seen! That makes me think it was the one I picked in France. I'm fairly sure it was climbing along someone's pergola/veranda/trellis. Could it be some sort of climbing plant or definitely a tree? |

| I wonder if it might be Wisteria of some sort? ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| I have googled what wisteria seed pods look like and think you may be right! I always knew the flowers on wisteria were beautiful but the seed pods ain't bad either! Thanks again guys. |

| Wisterias (Wisteria) do have beautiful blooms with interesting seed pods. We have many photos here in our database for comparison: https://garden.org/plants/brow... here are a couple: ~ Playing in the dirt is my therapy ... and I'm in therapy a lot! ~ |

| Thanks for your help. I have just read it can take 20 years for one grown from seed to flower so I might be in it for the long haul! |
