Has anyone grown Sadie's Horse Bean? It's a runner bean, here's a description:

Sadie's Horse Bean
This bean variety comes in a vivid mix of colors: in shades of lavender, brown, chocolate, white, pink, black. Most are mottled in black or brown, very large. Long vines produce lovely red and white blossoms, This rare heirloom was preserved in an American family for more than 100 years.

I'd like to hear about your experience with it as the seeds are $5 for 10 seeds, so I want to make sure I give them the care they need.

I'd also like to find a picture of either the seeds or the plant/blossoms. I've tried the internet with no success (using google)

Thanks for any help.
