"Billingsgate" True bush in growth. Found in Magpie in 2013. The bean has produced 9 other segregations. This years seed crop was 1/3 of an ounce. Soil conditions this year may have changed the appearance of the seed from the original.

"Willmar Pinto" True bush in growth. A Robert Lobitz original bean named after Willmar, Minnesota located in Kandiyohi county. Acquired the variety in 2017 from Inspirations Garden Centre, Exeter Tasmania, Australia. Had only one stunted plant this season. Needs to be grown out again in 2018.

"Pale Face" True bush in growth. An original bean of mine from the early 1980's named by me. The seed mother is the semi runner bean Owl's Head. With time the beans eye figure will darken to about the same shade as a yellow eye. Takes years for this to occur.

Yes, I really appreciate the time you put into including a little background with each one. This makes a wonderful resource, not only for us here, but others online searching out info on a bean.
