Here's a further observation: the background color from the SHP seeds (from Darrell) and the ones I saved from beans grown from that seed seem different, although there is overlap. The seed in the bottom middle (sitting on top of the U of Uncle) came from the SHP seeds and looks like what I got. Could it be environmental? Any thoughts, anyone?

The beans on the top left of the first photo are the same as the ones on the right of the second photo.
