| Hi all - long time user, off and on the forums. I run a cooking blog and wanted to feature these butter beans I grew up eating - they turn blue when cooked. I don't remember my grandfather growing them on a pole, I believe they were bush beans. Can anyone help me? I have included two images. One before cooking and one after. Thanks!

| Black-seeded beans can be blue when harvested as ripe shellies. I've even grown a pole wax bean that had that color as a shelly (didn't try it cooked). My best guess for a blue shelly though, without seeing a photo, would be the heirloom pole variety "Blue Shackamaxon". |

| Jackson's Wonder. Altho I describe the cooked color of green shellies as slate grey. |
