Many thanks to Silverleaf for donating this bean to the A4A seed circle. I'm looking forward very much to growing it.
In googling for more information I came across a few references, first of all to Galina mentioning here on GFSS having originally received the seed from the German seed saver, Prof Klapprott. It then seems that you donated it to the 2014 seed circle, and I'm guessing that it's from that donation that any of the variety grown in this country originate.
But then I came across a further reference in the blog of Mud and Gluts. She wrote: I was initially sent these beans as Cara la Virgen de la Bañera Leon, originally bought some years previously in Mallorca, but in January 2016 the grower got in touch to say that there had been a mistake on the packet and their correct name is Cara la Virgen de la Bañeza León or Face of our Lady of La Bañeza in León. They are likely then to originate from mainland Spain, in León. (https://mudandgluts.com/seeds-and-se...aving-in-2015/)
I'm wondering whether this is an authoritative correction of the name, and whether the grower referred to is you, Galina. Any more information gratefully received.
