I have a  pole  bean growing, the plants are growing beautifully outside . I know this one  grows exceptionally tall but there are no signs of flowers yet. I wondered about the heat being too much but I have another bean growing in my greenhouse which is very hot and it  is yielding a lot of pods . My Gigantes  which are a runner are full of flowers and they are outside. Puzzling??

 

My late varieties of pole beans are not flowering yet either.  There are differences in flowering times.  Some beans are clearly for after the 'summer holidays' and earlies are starting to produce now.  I would not worry Jeannine. 

I also have varieties not flowering. One is a variety, Armenian Striped Brown, which I'm a guardian for, for the Heritage Seed Library. So I'm hoping it flowers very soon. But I don't think it's time to worry yet.

Thank you both, this is my old family bean that I have grown only a couple of times and was determined to get seed from it this year to pass on.  XX Jeannine

It is not too late yet Jeannine.  Hope they will show flowers and pods very soon.
