I hate to disillusion you, Mickey, but butter beans are bigger than limas and are sort of beige in color. Limas are green and smaller. Both are delicious, along with black eyed peas. I just wish Silverton would keep the bits of ham out of the beans. Any of these cooked with a ham bone are scrumptous (without dried out ham bits)! And, good for you, too.......
Cheers!

Lima beans are a staple in the deep south. Everyone knows southerners
like black-eyed peas. But maybe everyone doesn't know that lima beans
are just as popular. But southerners call them butterbeans.
Everyone in rural Mississippi where I'm from has a garden where both
peas and butterbeans are grown every summer and canned for the winter
time. I like either with cornbread.
