My bean (it feels wrong calling them French beans!) list this year is -
For eating fresh or freezing
Dwarf - roquencourt (yellow) & slenderette (green)
Climbing - cosse violette, yard long
For drying pea bean.

I cannot grow runners reliably as they hate it hot and dry and I've given up growing beans for drying as they all get infested with bean beetle, even with the famous local Tarbais haricot I end up with a jar of beetles Sad
Has Anyone Seen the Plot?

Hautes-Pyrénées (65), France

This is not as tall as  Weilander but also has around 6 or so beans to a pod, with slightly shorter pods. I've found very little info on this one but I've grown it a few time as it gives plenty of beans and usually dries well

Pretty green pods heavily mottled with dark purple almost black markings and fatter than the weilander as these beans are rounder? Weilander has a slimmer flatter bean with the more usual kidney bean shape.
Scarlet, do you find a lot of variation in the colour of these beans? I grew the 11 or so beans from your mystery pack from a couple years back, and I ended up with five or six pods of almost entirely black beans with only specks of white (among the many, many normal pods of course). Just curious!

Occasionally the bean seed colours are inverted? But when grown they will revert to the original - Ithink thats quite common. 
If you have a different colourway - something may have crossed? Or a a bean from last year may have germinated.... I would grow it again to see what happens.
