Scarlet Runner Pole Bean

Birds, Beauty and Bounty

I love this plant; it is an expert at luring the hummingbirds with its nectar, providing tender pods which are delicious with salted butter, and finally offering the most beautiful pink and purple-black seeds as a promise of sending these gifts again next year.

Beans all sprouted and are all 2 -4 feet tall now. No flowers yet but growth looks good so far.
