Canavalia gladiata - Sword Bean - Revealed!

















Wow wow wow...did not expect these hidden jewels.

















These otherworldly coral productions of nature are not what I was expecting.
This color appears to flag it's near toxic state when they are this mature that
requires several boilings in salt water, for human consumption, as per most
sources.

On the other side of the coin my second impression was that these seeds look
like piglets in their proverbial blanket. It will be interesting to see what color
these will transition to when they dry out.

All but one bean came to full fruition and to total of seven. Seven, which
is one of several favorite numbers of mine.

I did not hesitate putting one these into some soil, perhaps fool heartedly, but
sometimes life gives us these impulses that we inevitably follow for a reason
and whose reason is not always evident.
