Calypso 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.
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!
Wicked awesome deal!!

Thank you for fulfilling our order for red raspberry plants. I ordered 20 plants, 7 for my daughter in law’s birthday present and 13 for our new red raspberry bed. Twelve of the 13 we planted have thrown out shoots and leaves. We are patiently waiting on the 13th. Red raspberries are one of our favorite fruits and are used to make our favorite jam. We look forward to picking our own harvest.
I have had great success with all my purchases from MIGardner. The potatoes arrived timely and had plenty of eyes. I only lost one cutting to rot while skinning and the rest successfully sprouted. Very happy, the rest is up to me!
We purchased four kits and made the 3x8 variety. The process was swift and easy to perform. It can be done by one person. Our beds are filled with soil and ready for the 2025 planting season!
This spinach is awesome. I winter sowed it in Feb 2025 in some gallon jugs and deep lettuce containers. It came up great. Transplanted to a raised bed in April Although the leaves are huge, they are super tasty. So far, I am loving your seeds. Would buy again!!!
These were cut on April 22nd and planted April 23, 2025. They came up on May 4th. I'm in central SD, zone 4b. Next year, I'll get more!
