Narrative
Pole/Dry. 100 days to first dry pods. A.K.A. Monstrance, Monstranz, Angel. Seed is plump oval tending to be fairly rounded, white in color with a red maroon bug or bird like figure, or some say even an angel around the eye. They have been in New Zealand a long time but came originally from France and a story associated with the beans is that according to legend. A French pastor hid his church treasures underground during the first World War, fearing theft. In order to protect the treasures even better he buried his valuables in the ground and planted beans on top of them. When the beans were ripe for picking and being shelled the pastor discovered pictures of a monstrance, or a holy figure on the beans. Also used to make rosaries.
