I love growing unusual and interesting things and am teaching my son to love it too. I have a tiny mostly potted garden in Newcastle NSW.

@KariSamuel Kari this is growing in a garden near me. Unfortunately I can't ask the people who planted it because the house got sold recently. Do you think it could be a hyacinth bean? I'll put a pic of the beans up too

@sussanah I looked up snail vine. It looks so beautiful but these flowers don't have that lovely curliness.

Thanks @cyndi. 😊 I've found lots of info on them. Just wanted extra confirmation before I knock on their door, ask for some pods and try to cook them. Lol
