AnnualCalypso bush bean, also known as Orca or Yin Yang bean, is an eye-catching heirloom variety prized for its striking black and white pattern resembling an orca whale. This compact, bushy plant matures in about 70-90 days, producing abundant pods filled with small, round beans. Known for their creamy texture and mild, nutty flavor, Calypso beans are excellent for soups, stews, and salads.
I love to share the gift of seeds with my community so I seized the opportunity with the awesome MIG seed catalog. Very pleased
The kids get very excited picking the dry "Orca beans" and I enjoy cooking them. They are relatively large and keep their fun coloring when cooked. Taste great in soup. Good yields grown in zone 6b.
Have grown these several times and they are always successful, dry well and taste great. Sometimes they look like yin and yang, sometimes like orca whales (that's the kid and grandma in me)
Such a unique bean!
Love these Calypso beans. Did very well, even when my flock of geese and chickens decimated the flowers multiple times. The snap beans were tasty….and the ugly, brown, shriveled husk was magical to crack open and reveal the most beautiful beans. We mixed our dried seed pods together and opened them at once. It was a fun surprise to see what color bean was going to be inside. Fun for the kids and adults alike. Thanks for another great seed that our family will keep in our garden for generations!
We planted several of your beans and found the pinto bean being our favorite and most used, not that we don't also like the other beans. I had never grown beans before and had no idea of how easy and low maintenance they require. We plan to triple the amount at our next planting.
Most beautiful herbal, medicinal plant, hummingbirds and especially chonky bumble bees absolutely love it… extremely attractive plant .. drought resistant loves full sun.
I planted strawflowers from MIGardener last summer and absolutely loved them. Ordered 6 packs of various colors for this year’s garden. Can’t wait!
These are the most beautiful Dahlias I’ve ever grown. The best part is the surprise of what each bloom will be. I’m lucky to live in coastal Louisiana so I don’t have to dig them up every year. Having them as perennials is a joy!
I have used Trifecta now for a good four seasons. It is worth the investment as I definitely have seen an improvement in my raised bed vegetable gardens and their yield. As far as I'm concerned whatever Luke Marion says is good....then it's good!
