Default What are Butter Beans?

Did anyone ever find butterbeans in Houston, Texas?
They are NOT Lima beans. They are Southern butter beans. I am from Mississippi also and my Grandmother always raised them in her garden. Looking for them around Houston.

......or in the frozen-food cases. I've bought a frozen bag of "speckled
butter beans" when I still lived in CA. My black lady-friend called
any "lima" bean a butter bean and she was born/raised in AL.

Butter beans and lima beans are the same bean... what they are called
is regional. Full sized limas are Fordhooks, however different
varieties are different sizes and different colors.
Baby limas are botanically a diferent bean, not an immature Fordhook.
Walmart carries this brand, I've tried many Margaret Holmes products
and liked them all.
Read the discription and notice I'm correct:
