I have wondered about this for the last couple seasons. Can a single bean vine produce different colored flowers? Can there be more than one color of flower in one plant? It seemed possible from what I observed in the last 2 years, but it was hard to be certain because vines get tangled and then there is the possibility of crosses. And often the one flower that looked a different color was more mature than the other and often fading away, so I wondered if it only appeared that the flowers were different. I've seen that with certain peas, how the flowers seem to change color at different stages of maturity. Well! I have my answer and it is yes. I just got lucky and found some vines today where they were at just the right stage to bee able to clearly identify it.
