Magic beans indeed

When I show my neighbor's kids the beans, they love them! They are so pretty in mottled purple, they really do look magical.

Origin of Jack and the Magic Beanstalk?

The beans are so pretty, they look like jewels! And the vines are pretty too, we've even seen some hummingbirds checking out the bright red flowers. Great for our trellis. You can also pick these very young and eat them like green beans, but if you forget and let the beans get big you'll be in for a surprise – the beans look magical in their mottled purple colors.
