Red Flowered Broad Beans

No-one can quite recall where this particular variety arrived from, but it always draws comments from visitors and is very popular with the bees. This prompts our annual joke: a visitor will ask " What 's the name of those red flowered broad beans?", to which our reply is? "Erm, red flowered broad beans"! It is one of the varieties that we regularly save and it is always a joy when a visitor shows a real interest and is rewarded with a handful of the precious beans!
