I thought I would try to make a list of some of the different types of Neos. This one is for the bean leaf types - those that have shorter, thicker, fatter leaves.
(Photos to follow! And I will add in links to individual posts about these plants as threads get added.)
Beniboushi - A mini bean with rasp leaves.
