The Pea Bean from the National Vegetable Society

Hi
I grew these last year, treated them exactly the same as climbing french beans and got a good crop from them.
Very pretty bi-coloured beans and am having another go this year.

A bean that I don't have! Phaseolus aegypticus

or do I?
"The pea bean is always easily recognised as the mature seeds are very distinctive - each one being half white and half a reddish, chestnut brown."

It sounds like a Yin Yang

[Two_Sheds]

all the sites I look at say that Yin Yang (Phaseolus vulgaris) is black & white, but mine are maroon & white.

Flummery? Help!

[Flummery]

Mine are maroon and white too. I've always assumed that the yin-yang and the pea bean were the same. They're as near as dammit is to swearing, aren't they?
