Javanese call it as kacang dawa or kacang usus.
Long yard bean (Vigna unguiculata) is a popular vegetable in my country.
We can find it both of in groceries or traditional market.
The price is fairly cheap.
Now, I want to explore its beautiful flower.
The color is so vary depend on the variety.
But the shape is the same.
It just a one day blooming flower.
Blooming in the morning, and will be withered in the late of afternoon.
happy gardening for you all...
lovely flower! Who said vegetables are not beautiful! ;)
ReplyDeleteYes, it absolutely true.
DeleteYou have so many beauties in your little garden Endah, I am always amazed. Love bean flowers and there so many different ones.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Janneke.
DeleteIt looks similar to our sweet peas,
ReplyDeleteYes, they are on the same family, so have the similar flower.
DeleteBeautiful flower, Lovely garden. I am looking forward to spring flowers and planting a garden soon. Thank you for sharing yours.
ReplyDeleteHope the spring comes soon. And I can see the beauty from your home garden.
DeleteI've seen long yard beans in the store but never eaten them - I do love beans, so I'll likely grow them at some point.
ReplyDeleteSo, I think you can grow it on the late of spring. Cause it love warm weather.
DeleteI grow them here and the flower looks like the kind that you have. One year, every bee in flying distance came to my yard long beans but it doesn't happen every year. Insects don't bother them as bad as the do our regular pole beans so I know that I will have some beans to stir fry.
ReplyDeleteYes, I have ever seen yours. They look so healthy and grow so well, so productive on your climate. I was so amazed.
