Can anybody give me an ID on this pea?
The pods, which are reasonably sweet and tasty, have a peculiar appearance of being closed by a purplish zipper.
The location is on the edge of a communal vegetable garden but none of the community is ever there when I pass by.
What is the speciesd/variety? Is it edible?
recognized, so I downloaded the file to take a closer look. I tried a DOS viewer ("Picture Viewer") on it and nothing was displayed apart from a message that the file was a damaged jpeg file. So I tried another viewer (dvpeg) and this time the photo was displayed with no problems. So it seems that there is something non-standard about your photo conversion.
Pin a note with your question to the plant, along with your phone number and a 20c coin.
I've added in aus.gardens to canvass local knowledge. Hope that's okay.
Thanks John. I got the info from the group that this is Dolichos lablab (Lablab bean).
Any jpg file should open if it is opened in a browser (Netscape, Safari, Explorer, Etc.), regardless of what other programs it will or not open in. Just drag the image (file) onto your open browser and it should display.
