Runner Beans what variety

(1/4) > >>

Digeroo:
For me runner beans are normally white, almost black or sometimes reddish.  But one of our plot holders tipped the remains of the runner beans onto the spare area.  So I took some of the beans.  They are pale brown and white.  Can anyone suggest a variety.

Digeroo:
I was not aware of what colour the flowers were.  The beans were not particularly long, but they produced huge amounts of ripe beans.   They are so attractive, lovely shiny seeds.

ACE:
More than likely the result of a climbing french bean that got a bit friendly with an unrelated variety. Happens a lot on allotments when you grow from saved seed.

Paulh:
"Scarlet Emperor" beans are red.

saddad:
Climbing French beans are relatively stable... and rarely cross pollinate, Runner Beans are notoriously promiscuous so have probably crossed.
