I've got a bit of a mix-up between seeds of these two varieties which I rather unfortunately grew side by side. I have a small number of each which Im fairly confident are one or the other but another batch which could be either.
I find it very difficult to distinguish between the two seeds. Both varieties are large, have black hilums and both have similar tannish greenish colouring (perhaps there's an accepted name for this colouring?) - BBP on left and IP on right.
I'm wondering whether the hilum in BBP is slightly more pronounced and the seeds slightly rounder but I'm not sure. Am I right perhaps in thinking that the two lots of seeds are almost indistinguishable? And perhaps in growth habit too? I didn't keep careful enough records of these two to know whether the pod shape is similar, for example.
So in general I'm wondering whether there's much difference in any aspect of these two peas.
