Since I didn't put any size references in the image, they are about the size of 2 large grains of sand.

Prolly will grow a beanstalk that will reach up to the sky and have a giant living in it.

>>998727

Would shit brix. Have them germinating in my insectivorous plant terrarium. Better not break it.

>>998730

wtf is wrong with you plant that shit outside.

$3?

bitch you're supposed to trade your cow for them. don't expect any magic beanstalks, you phony.

OP here

Day 2- The water they are germinating in turned a deep red. Almost blood red but slightly translucent. Weird.

>>998964
You're going to poison your poor insects, dude.

>>998967

What?

>>998967
I think op means it's a terrarium for insect eating plants not actual insects.

>>998977

This.

Day 3:

Drained the blood-red water out, added fresh water. Stained the water slightly red once more. Going to put them in soil tomorrow.

I can't lie, I want to know what they are.

I have seen this tree out in the swamp. Its bark is blood red and the sap is the same consistency of blood. May be one of those trees.

Day 4:

Planted the seeds in peat seed starters. Going to take another picture once my Samsung Galaxy S II phone comes in the mail.

poast pictures opie

>>1000763
Great choice in phone, that thing is a beast...

Pretty interested in what the plant will be.

Those are coca seeds, bro. I hope you like cocaine.

>>1000812

Wrong. Coca seeds are not bean-shaped.

>Bum walks up to me
"I'll sell you these magic beans for $3"
SOLD
>Take them

lol'd my ass off

>>1000763
Shit there's a Galaxy S II?

>>1000929

Where have you been for half a year?

>>1000929

Day 5: Still nothing happening with the peat chunks they're growing in. Will probably not see any action for a week at least.

My guess is refried.

Make a blog or something so I don't have to worry about this thread being CAWWd out of existence.

>>1001858
Won't happen, even the biggest CAWW raids aren't that bad. Trolling is boring when the board is too slow to respond and be trolled.

>>1001858

I'll just make a new thread then.

Day 6: Nothing new

Staining the water blood-red?

I'm thinking homeless guy was saving scabs and sold them to you.

This phone's pictures look great.

One or two seed per peat chunk

>>1002927
Looks good indeed. Keep us posted.

roaches...

>>1002994
actually cockroaches grow from beans proven fact.

This thread is hilarious, somehow.

I vote mexican vanilla.

Very interested now. I'd like to see what they are too

>>1002927

Day 7:

Same as this image. Absolutely no changes.

Most garden plants take like 10 days right? We are getting close.

I feel like /an/ is giving birth.

>>1004012

Magic beans aren't your typical garden plant.

Day 8: Nothing

Day 9: Nada

>>1005517
One more day OP, hang in there!

Oh, the anticipation!

Day 10: No changes

Also, technically day 1 was day 0.

>>1006467

They are bean shaped. They aren't necessarily a bean.

lol oh god this is wacky so far, I love you /an/!

Day 11:

Nope. Some varieties of plants take much longer than this to germinate.

>>1006736
If they aren't "necessarily a bean" how do you know the optimal sowing depth for germination?

>>1007369

The natural sowing depth is on the surface. Chances are, sowing them 1/4th of an inch under the soil will result in superior yield. As long as the seed is completely surrounded by soil, it will have a better chance.

Day 12: Same

Hang in there OP.

>>1008042
I second this. Still following.

>>1008151

third, been here since day 1, hoping something will sprout soon

>"I'll sell you these magic beans for $3"

You sure he didn't ask for rupees instead?

>>1008173
Fourth! Keeps my workday exciting!

every time i think of ops post i think of this in the back of my mind.

beans will grow into a magic carpet flower.

Maybe uncover one of them to see if any progress is occurring and then cover it back up?

Shouldn't cause much harm...

Maybe I should steal seeds from my uni and sell them as magic beans.

>>1008461
There's still a good chance that they will grow.

>>1008466

Some seeds take a month to germinate.

>>1008495
some seeds take a year, a lot of seeds take all winter.

Still following OP. Keep at it.
Let's hope you didn't buy magnolia seeds or something.

Day 13: No changes

>>1008852

100% positive they are not magnolia seeds. They are brownish black rather than red.

Its ironic that the thread with the least content... is the oldest on the board at the moment.

Not that I'm not enjoy it, I'm actually very curious if you'll get something. Just the irony.

Inb4 "wtf its coffee beans"

inb4 giants out of fucking nowhere.

OP, still nothing?

Try uncovering some of the dirt on one of them, to see if they sprouted yet.

Day 14: Nothing

OP should post this on /x/ for the lulz

You did it wrong! You should have haphazardly thrown them on the ground like in the story.

OP's seeds look like seeds that came from a tree that was at my elementary school. There were maybe three or four in a pod, and the seeds themselves would have an orange wax-like membrane that is easily removed.

OP, you should take a stroll around a local park and see if you can find any more.

>>1010056
But WHO WAS BEAN?

I must know what happened

Catalpa?

>>1010043
>>1010043
>>1010043
>>1010043
>>1010043

I guarantee you this thread in /x/ would explode.

Day 15: Nothing

THEY SPROUTED!

Damn it OP, dig one up already. 2 weeks without sprouting and I'm guessing they're dead.

If they were dried beans, you did fine rehydrating them in water, that red stuff may have been nutrients held on an outside coating to provide the energy necessary to grow up and break through the surface to start harvesting sunlight for energy as it grows roots.

They're either dead or awaiting a frost, and I think it's stupid to pay $3 for that shit from a bum when you can get seed for 40 stalks of corn for $1.50

>>1010597
I'm sure the charity of the act was considered in giving him $3.00

>>1010605

I've given bums $5 for pro jokes.

I have a feeling OP left a long time ago and we're all being trolled.

Day 16:

I uncovered some of the peat on two of them and they are still there. Haven't sprouted yet.

One problem right now is that it's pretty cold where they are germinating and I don't really have a way to warm them up until the weather heats up. We're getting strangely cold weather in California atm.

>>1011399
im guna have to say this huh?
there fucking ticks!

>>1011399

What about leaving them in a sunny window?
And yeah, I know what you mean. It's been cold as fuck here the last few days.

>>1010605

Beans nothing; once I saw a homeless man with a sign that said "Being Homeless sucks, I would like money for beer to make it suck less for the night."

I gave that wonderful bastard 20 dollars for his honesty.

>>1011434
>once I saw a homeless man with a sign that said "Being Homeless sucks, I would like money for beer to make it suck less for the night." I gave that wonderful bastard 20 dollars for his honesty

I read this on readers digest. word for word

>>1011414
The problem with this is that there is no sun to make any of my windows sunny. Usually my terrarium is the warmest place in the house due to the heat output of the T5 tubes, but it's still relatively cold.

Day 17: Nope

This is actually a notoriously common scam amongst bums. We got a lot of them in my area, so I'm used to this happening, allow me to explain...

You see, spring time is mating season for bums, except they don't mate like typical mammals...

The "beans" that bum gave you were not in fact beans, but larvae. You see, bums are capable of reproducing by themselves, but can't nurture their young, so they'll often give them away in their pre-developed stages as "magical beans" due to their resemblance to such. The only thing that's going to happen once the larvae, or "beans", develop is that the infant bums will mature and you'll begin to notice a lack of food and silverware around your house. The best course of action would be to burn them, OP. They tend to stick around as they get older, you don't want that.

Anything new?

>>1013113

Nope. I'm going to have a week of warm, sunny weather starting tomorrow. Hopefully they will enjoy that.

Day 19: No changes

this is the best thing i have ever seen on /an/. i love you

bamp

this thread is amazing.

Day I lost track:

Shit got real

This has made my day.

>>1015213
THIS IS THE BEST THREAD THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN ALL OF /an/!!!

Maybe we should archive it?

>sell old beans for $3
>entertain /an/ for three weeks
You should thank that bum again.

I really hope they aren't "magic" beans because they are pot seeds. It would really suck if OP got arrested for growing them.

>>1015232

I used to grow pot when I was younger. They are definitely not pot seeds.

>>1015234
no, they aren't

>pot seeds

I refuse to let this happen.

Cannabis seeds.

>>1015213

A second one popped up a few hours later

>>1015213
To clarify, this is the one that's top 3rd from the right.

>>1015389
Bottom 3rd from the left.

They're enjoying the warm temperatures now that this cold spree is over.

>>1015213

Finally!

Picture very much related to my current state of mind.

>>1015389

This thread deserves to be archived.

>>1015568

>>1015651

Yep you bet.

Night time. Growing pretty fast.

>>1015870

That thing grows fast.

>>1015871

>>1015213
>>1015871
Yes, finally!

It's like it just woke up today and said, well time to grow.

Day I don't remember +1:

Stretching on out. Other one seems to be stuck.

>>1016187
You posted on 5/19, 22 days.....

>>1016187
You can safely remove the dirt around the little bud of leaves, to help it get free of the dirt. Just don't go beyond that point.

Time-lapse this shit OP. Find a place to put you're camera so that it's always in the same spot.

I wish I would get the chance to have a bum give me some magic beans..

OP is a chosen one. You won't get the chance to grom some magic beans either.

>>1016275
>grom
I have no regrets.

>>1016275

It must go full circle. Once they're grown, he needs to harvest their seeds and sell them at 6 for 3$.

And in the end, OP didn't need the feather to fly. The 'magic' was the magic of commerce. The bum had taught us all a lesson.

Pebbles

bump

..Those look like the plants that started sprouting in my moss planter. My lita thinks they are mesquite.

>>1016650

The two baby leaves look like a lot of other plants baby leaves. Once the next set of leaves form, it will be easier to identify what kind of plant it is.

GROW YOU LITTLE FUCKER, GROW.

No seriously, totally curious as to what this thing is.

I am stupidly excited about this. Go OP.

>>1016195
Thanks

>>1016269
I take pictures with my cellphone and I always have it with me so no can do.

Day 23:

Early development of it's first set of adult leaves.

>>1016844
inb4 sunflower seeds.

>>1016860

Not sunflowers, I don't think. I grow lots of them and their starter leaves are always very round and thick.

>>1016860

Sunflower seeds do not look like beans at all.

Any clues on what kind of plant it is?

>>1016886

Beginning leaf structures like that belong to the Fabales order.

>>1016888
I'll 1-up you and say it belongs to the Fabaceae family

aaaah this is awesome, I didnt think they'd actually grow!
cant wait to see what they are

page 6 bump

THE LITTLE BEANS THAT COULD

Day 24:

Getting kind of fuzzy

>>1016888
>>1016889
Fabaceae (or Leguminosae) is a large and economically important family of flowering plants, which is commonly known as the legume family, pea family, bean family or pulse family.

>bean family

!eeeeeee

>>1017569
holy shit, OP, that one has really shot up in the last few days. how long til you can transplant?

>marijuana plants

I know they're not, but I really want to know what these are. Could you take one of the seeds to a gardening shop to find out?

>>1017679

I work in a nursery so I guess I could take one to myself. But it seems redundant.

It is unlike any plant I've ever seen.

Well, this is certainly exciting.

>>1017959

So what are their names?

I vote... Mongo and Rusty. Rusty is the little guy.

>>1017592
Congratulations /an/. With the sum of our knowledge we were able to confirm beyond doubt that it is, in fact, a bean.

>>1018167
Truly, /an/ at our finest

Day 25

>>1018337
what is it !!!

the suspense is killing me

>>1018337
It's a magic beanstalk.

Look at that fucker. Look how magical it is.

God damn that's growing fast

>>1018337
Is that little one already growing fucking beans?!

Posting in the oldest thread I've ever seen.

>>1018411
>clearly doesn't know how plants work

>>1018420
This thread may be old, but not exeptionally so here on /an/. There used to be a cheeta thread that lived to reach the venerable age of well over three months not that long ago.

Leaves seem to move back and forth slightly. Weird.

>>1018435
Did anyone archive that thread?

>>1018513
Feed me Seymour!

>>1018513
the magical beans are adjusting to the natural ley lines of the earth.

or.. trying to siphon off your lifeforce for their own nefarious magical needs.

I'm not really sure which...

>>1018513
They are probably just adjusting to soak up the maximum amount of sunlight. Leaves on plants will actually follow the path of the sun through out the day.

What a cool looking plant so far! I still can't believe you didn't get bogus seeds.

>>1018676
Then it is probably just surges of liquid nutrients from the roots and stuff as it goes through what is essentially a massive growth spurt.

Also, it sucks that the other beans haven't sprouted either, besides that other one. Maybe the rest are late bloomers, and these two just got a head start.

hey OP, could yo capture the back & forth -motion on video? I would love to see that magical flippin' & flappin' =)

This thread is proof that /an/ is the best board.

Hey

Hey OP

You're so full of shit.

You KNEW what those are, since you had to know what to google to get that picture in your first post.

Codariocalyx motorius - the telegraph plant. Bullshit magic beans hobo story.

I MAD.

>>1018796

>>1018796
You're an idiot, he probably just googled a description of what the beans looked like, then saved and posted the one that matches them the most.

And he never said they where magical, he said the HOBO claimed they where. He just planted them to amuse himself, entertain /an/ and to find out what they really are.

>>1018796
Wrong. Googled magic beans or seeds or something and found the first image that looked like my seeds. Also, I don't think a bum would have seeds to a plant from Asia. Though they do look similar to pictures of that plant.

>>1019380
Hobo gave you beans that turned into visibly moving plants. Fuck yes they're magic beans

Day 27 in the up position

>>1019737
has there been any activity from any of the other beans?

>>1019738

No that I've seen. Seeds might be old.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codariocalyx_motorius

>known as the Telegraph Plant or Semaphore Plant, is a tropical Asian shrub, one of a few plants capable of rapid movemen

D: OP... either you've got a really good eye or...or...

>OP lies
>santa isn't real
>feels bad man

Take this to /x/, even Wiki won't stop them from believing those beans are magic as fuck.

its dmt

I saw this thread on the frontpage and clicked it with no expectations(the picure wa the sadfrog) but then I read all of this and realized that this is full of magic and childlike joy.
Thank you OP and everyoone who posted in here(yes, even the haters).
Picture related, it is OP in 3 weeks after the symbiose with his beans is completed.

>>1019984

no this will be op

i like dis thread

am i the only one concerned about the fact that only one sprouted?

i wonder if the other seeds are the same as the one which sprouted, which we should assume is semaphore plant

Day 28:

Terrarium is oddly foggy today

>>1020072
IT BEGINNS!!
You better pack some stuff for your trip to heaven OP.

>>1020033
one magic bean is enough...
although it is kinda fun to imagine what kind of a powerful bean wizard OP could become if more sprouted....

Who cares whether or not OP knew what they were? I love this thread soooooooo much.

>>1020033
There's a second one that sprouted, but for some reason it hasn't straightened out and started growing yet.

>>1020088

They don't look like poppies to me...

Bump!

OP you are my hero.

Back from work. Still pretty foggy.

In the story Jack climbed the first beanstalk, stole some shit, and came down... then he chopped it right?

The second bean is for when you go get the harp or whatever.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c9KXiOI1yw

Bump, even though I dont usually care about plants, this thread is right about as great as it gets.

get ready for a giant in your terrarium

meh

bumpin' back to the front so OP can easily find his thread!

I bet they will grow into a giant petal 7 yrs in the future then youll be able to get hidden rupees and pieces of heart and Gannon will be that much more easy to defeat...

Hey, OP's image looks exactly like:

http://www.karnivores.com/en/sensitive-plants-sale/seeds/codariocalyx-motorius-desmodium-gyrans

funny thing for OP to have that picture without knowing what the magic beans were...

Fucking OP.

>>1022117

This. TODAY OOT 3DS IS OUT!!!

You know, even if we are being trolled and OP really has known what these are all along, I wouldn't mind.

It's been nice watching something grow. I wonder how the plants are doing. ♥

>>1018676
sensitivity plant? Does it do anything when you touch it?

Just found this thread, but HHHNNNGGG I love watching things grow.

I need to find me a bum with magic seeds...
OP, keep us posted!

Bumping back to the front page! Gogogo

Well, OP? Any changes?

I am still waiting...
Where are you OP? WHERE?!?!?

MIMOSA PUDICA
you heard it first here

..and it only took a month to figure out. i love you /an/

>>1023866

Nah, they look nothing like Mimosa pudica

>>1022231
OP didn't take the picture.

OP just got a pic from the internet that looked like his seeds.

>stupid anon doesn't read

>>1022304

Good god that photo is beautiful. Where was that taken and who was the photographer? I've been staring at it in awe for like 10 minutes now.

>>1023893

I spent a few minutes googling variations of beans, seeds, etc. Not once did that photo come up. What are the odds he googled and happened to find the seeds of the exact plant he has? It was the first result for the type of plant it is (the flapping one) and the site was in spanish. It wouldn't have come up for random words like 'bean.'

Anyway, I'm going to pretend that OP- who works at a nursery- took a guess at what they are and got it right.

>>1024011
Come to England.
It pretty much looks like that in the countryside.

>>1024013
He typed in MAGIC BEANS which is what the hobo called them.

OP? WHERE ARE YOU.

I MUST FUCKING KNOW WHAT THIS PLANT IS OP HAVE YOU FORSAKEN US?

>>1012161

Goddamn, I laughed so hard I farted.

>thread about watching a plant grow
>best thread on all of 4chan

Ricin in these beans will kill you in two days.

different skeptic here. OP image of beans doesn't show up when you search for "magic beans" on google images.

the fact that it does show up when you search for the plant's name is telling. it's also telling that the OP revealed he has a terrarium of plants that eat insects... because this site, where the bean/seed image comes from (already linked above)
http://www.karnivores.com/en/sensitive-plants-sale/seeds/codariocalyx-motorius-desmodium-gyrans
specifically deals with those kinds of plants, see header image

>>1024548

Apparently retarded anon here. You sure it's a painting? Looks pretty real to me... perhaps I really do need glasses...

>>1024011
I unfortunately have no idea. I had the same reaction, however.

If those bear fruit you best be giving it to the bum.

>>1024723
>OP takes care of exotic, temperamental plants
>anon surprised when OP has a pic from a site regarding such plants

Are you looking for a bean shop, my friend? I know a homeless guy around the corner...

>>1024723

On the other hand it's possible that rather than googling he went to a site he frequents and browsed for a few minutes until he found something close.

i just came in today, read the entire thread, and now it's clear that we've been trolled. oh well, at least i wasn't waiting for a month

I haven't read any of this thread, but it's been alive for fucking ever. Is it worth reading?

>>1025360
Yes. Very much.

Sup. We regularly have threads that last 4 months.

Actually, I think there's several boards that are competing for the title.

I'm pretty sure /po/ takes the cake. Shit for yearsman.

Papergami is way slower than /an/. /ck/ is a nice average speed, tbh. A bit faster than /an/, sort of '/tg/ at night' rate most of the time. /an/'s perfect, though.

PERFECT.

This thread was started on my 21st birthday, and I've been following it ever since. Bumping!

i don't want this to end.

Bump

Bump.

THAT WAS NO HOBO.

It was a man called Mahatma Gandhi, and he has given you a tree that grows fire breathing lions.

You might want to get a thick-walled ceramic enclosure for them, if you value your house.

Bumpin for magic.
