LAST FROM THE HYACINTH BEAN

The white hyacinth bean is finishing its peak season
Peak of flowering and harvesting season.
Rainy season have came and this vine will optimizing the vegetative growth, just produce new shoots and leaves.
I think this is the last flowering time this year.
Rain and wet weather is not favorable to initiate flower and the bean too.

  1. Beautiful white hyacinth bean flowers, never seen before. The Crinum of your former post I have in a tub in my garden too. It was blooming in July, now it's dormant in the greenhouse.

    1. Crinum is usually blooming on the beggining of rainy season after wake up from its dormancy period during the dry season.

    1. Yes, sometime. But we have garden guards, our kitties. They always move so fast to 'throw away' the snakes from my garden, to avoid the snake get in to our home garden.

  5. Lovely plant, I have never heard of it before, can you eat the beans?
    It’s strange it is called hyacinth bean as the flowers look very different to the hyacinths we grow here, and I can’t imagine the beans look anything like hyacinths either….how do they come up with all these names :-)

    1. I don't know why this plant is called like this, but I think it must be there are so many reasons on it. Oh, the beans are flat and wide, and the taste is so delicious and crispy.
