Bean Blossom

Blossom from "Provider" variety bush bean

The blossoms from bean plants are not only beautiful but edible as well.  If I wasn't so eager to harvest the first beans that should be here in a week or so I'd use the blossoms on a salad - if nothing else they would look great.

New leaves from "Fortex" variety pole bean

 Don't eat the leaves though, I heard they taste terrible.
