Runner Beans

A few years ago I grew 2 varieties of runner beans with one with purple flowers the other orange both had striped beans. I cannot find them anywhere this year. I did some on line research and found 2 varieties one called 'Snakeshead!' the other 'Drangons Tongue' does anyone know where I can buy these or have ideas on other varieties. Thanks

    I think the Dragons Tongue might be a Borlotti variety. Try googling that and see what you find.

    I grew them a few years ago and used them as a green bin and also as dried beans and was pleased with them.
