BBF Runner Bean Landrace

Here are some of the beans from the borlotti/runner cross. Just for info, I was given a few seeds of this cross by a friend. Those seeds looked like large borlotti beans, classic borlotti colouring and markings. Four of these germinated producing two plants with white flowers and two plants with red flowers. Segregation had begun. Now, at bean harvest time I am getting white beans and pink/purple beans with dark flecks, markings very like the borlotti parent, though not the colouring. Looking forward to the next generation.
