Pinky Purple Runner Bean seeds

[zazen999]

Hi folks.

I am spending this evening going through my bean collection and one is stumping me.

It's a runner bean, with really long pods but when you leave the pods to dry out, you get really purpley pink and black speckled seeds.

The label said 'chinese long' but the seeds for those are small and black and it's not a runner type.

Anyone got any ideas?

Can't help there, most runner bean varieties I've ever seen either have white seeds, or one which are sort of pinky-purple with very dark splodges. From Scarlet Emperor to Painted Lady and beyond!
Could it be Enorma? (there is a white Enorma, but I think I remember a red-flowered one too?)
