Backyard Aquaponics
A place to discuss aquaponics

Not sure where I got the seeds. Only one germinated out of all of them.

Most likely not a AP plant or even edible.

It has started to crawl up my light cord and is growing like crazy in the last week or so.

I'm going to say I think it's a bean plant but I'm not sure.

The heart shaped leaves are the the first ones that come from the seed germinating. All the other leaves are the staggered sets of 3 leaves.

I have tried plant identification websites and not had any luck either.

Kinda reminds me of red malabar spinach but I don't think malabar has red veins in the leaves. Definitely sounds like an interesting mystery... it might be worth posting some pics once the 3 leaves spread out.

Pretty sure it's a type of bean just don't know which one. I think you'll start to see flowers pretty soon if there's enough light.

Probably either a lima bean or a hyacinth bean (aka lablab bean) although there may be others with similar leaf patterns.

what did the seeds look like ?

Leaves look the same after opened.

Seeds did come from a pod. I have a bad looking seed that I did not plant that I found. The one seed that germinated looked more jellybean shape.

Probably not a lima bean with that color. Looks a lot like a Hyacinth bean seed with the color and the white along the edge.

Apparently the dried beans are toxic until properly cooked.

Thank you Scotty it looks like it maybe right.

Seeds look more like what I planted.

Plant right now.

Wow! Pretty flowers!
