Quick bean question

Biggs, KY(Zone 6a)

I planted a Gourmet Mix of bush type garden beans today. They were a mixture of three kinds of beans; Blue Lake 274, Royal Burgundy and Super Wax. I am assuming the Royal Burgundy were the pink to brownish beans. The others were small, white beans and larger white beans. Any idea which was which? Thanks for any help.

You're spot on Cajun. My royal burgundys are that smaller mauvish pink, my blue lakes were larger and white...never done the wax, but...

The Blue Lake is the larger white bean.

Sometimes you can google the variety of beans (ex: "tendergreen bean seed images") and you might get lots of links to pics.
