My broad beans only just have flowers. :-(
Very lovely deep pink flowers, though.


My ones are just plain white.
vicky, which variety do you grow? I would love to have that colour in
my garden next year.


Unfortunately I don't have the name. I got them a couple of years ago
from the Hampshire Potato Day, and they were just sold as "crimson
flowered broad beans". I could send you a handful if I can find the
leftovers (that sounds so mean - you know what I mean!), but the ones
I have are self-saved, so they are a mix so you may end up with all
white! (all the ones /I/ have had come through so far are pink, but
you could get a different set germinate, if that makes sense)

Feel free to send me your address and if I can I'll send you some.


Thankyou, vicky, for the offer but I think that I have found some. Not
pink, but red. Well, I would like all shades apart from ALL white.

Thanks again.
