Blossoms on the purple bean plants.
Wednesday was a damp day and not at all warm, but we're expecting summer to return in a day or two. Where have I heard that before?

Pole beans
These are the climbing bean plants I mentioned yesterday. They're called "Mélissa." When the beans are mature, they'll look like green beans but will be a shade of purple similar to the stems in the photo. I've already seen tiny beans forming so I'm hopeful we'll have a good crop in the coming weeks.

That photo! Thanks for sharing the beauty.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite color is purple, thanks!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! We have a rattlesnake bean here that is a purple speckled green. When cooked it is a solid dark green and delicious.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo!
ReplyDeleteThe joys of the summer garden :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful close-up. I have trouble keeping still when I want a photo like that. Any tricks of the trade you care to share?
ReplyDeletemitch, and the little beans are starting to appear!
ReplyDeletebettyann, :)
evelyn, I'm thinking that these purple beans will also go green when cooked.
michael, thanks!
judy, it's always exciting when things I plant actually grow!
mary, use as fast a shutter speed as you can to minimize camera shake. If you're using an automatic mode, try switching to shutter priority and choose a fast speed. The aperture will take care of itself in that mode.
I like your photo.
