Green Beans – Two Kinds – a purple stripe that tastes yummy!

I planted green beans about 2 months ago and just bought packages at the store for the seeds. Somehow a variety came up that has a purple stripe or speckle in it. I have no idea what type they are but they were very tasty! We had them for Thanksgiving dinner and really loved the taste. Fresh green beans…. the best!

Mystery green bean name: Rattlesnake – Raised Urban Gardens 11.27.2012

[…] dish but I was curious as to why the beans I grew had a purple stripe on them. I mentioned it in this post and never looked into it. I was in Sweet Organic Solutions and mentioned to Donna Faye about them. […]

Hi,
I am from New Jersey but live in China. I planted beans almost two months ago and then left the country on a business trip. Last night I came home and noticed my beans all grown up but some of then had reddish-purple speckles on them such as your pictures. So i though it was a fungus or disease. But you uploaded great pictures and i think i have the same thing. Do you know the strain of these beans? They are ok?
