Forgot to mention: in Dutch we don't call them 'angel beans' (which would be 'engelboontjes'), but 'holy beans' ('heilige boontjes')

My personal favorite of all time for looks is the Painted Pony beans. Its striking mix of white and deep brown gives it a timeless, classic beauty.

I received some beautiful beans from an Internet friend in Austria like Yin Yang beans and Angel beans, but I could not grow them in my soil and climate - Austria has some warmer wine-growing regions that allow for such crops (and apricots!). I have to deal with the conditions I have, I guess.



Here in the US I just found out that Angel beans are available under the name Holy bean.  I just got some seeds!  Now to see if they will do ok here in Maine.
 
I'm still in control here. LOOK at this tiny ad!
