What beans on my website did you think were pretty? If I read your post correctly you are looking for recommendations for beans that are good but also pretty. I don't think any beans I have are unproductive it's just some are more productive than others.
I'm mostly interested in growing out Pole Beans but I will grow out Bush if I love them and they're good growers. If they have blues, reds, pinks, interesting browns, or grays. Spotted, marbled, extra productive ones, then I'm hooked. 😀

I received some Uzice Speckled Wax beans in a seed swap this winter so I'll be growing them for the first time this summer. Glad to hear that they're good ones and so pretty too.
Garrett,
My Uzice were prolific, grew very tall with beans covering the full length in my Zone 7B. I've noticed a Uzice pic here on Easy Garden BUT mine are more like this pic below. Mine have more of the black spots. Do your seeds resemble this photo? I know I was sending some of mine through seed swaps hoping to share the bean love.

Here are some more photos for your bean-y pleasure combined for fewer pix. 😉

@Bluejay77 has some incredibly wonderful and rare beans in his site, I love poking around 'pressing my face' against the window. 🤣 I have great fun trying to decide what network beans to select from the list! I've grown a fair few of those, and there are several that I thought were FABULOUS. Pretty and tasty as green beans, poles: Landfrauen, Lousiana Pole, Green Savage, Gill's Delicious Giant. Bush beans I have really grown and liked (though not eaten yet as the grow out was for seed) are Rotebeerbohne, Atwater, Mbumpa Boontjies (spelling not right on that one for sure, lol) and a few great runners are Minnesota 1940's and Ice. Ice beans are really delicious, on the small side and a ghostly silvery green. There is everything to love about them!

Mine look just like those beans (pictured below). They remind me of a more speckled Yin Yang bean.

Bean question for the experts: Is 'Posena' pole bean the same as 'Buenos Aires Green' pole bean?

I'm not able to find a listing for a Buenos Aires variety that shows its seeds, but from the pod picture in Weston Seed's Posena listing and the pod picture in the listing of both Mascarell's Buenos Aires Verde "Alina" and Batlle Seed's Buenos Aires Verde "Evita" if they aren't the same bean, they are mighty close enough I wouldn't grow both though this Ebay listing equates the two.
