Well have grown peas for a few years now every year white flowers same this year but I popped what I thought were a second sowing of pea plants in and were growing slower than normal and now have a burgandy flower. So my question is are these peas? 

[Aunt Sally]

What variety did you sow that haver burgandy flowers ?

[DD.]

Picture?

You can get peas with colourful flowers. (No - not sweet peas - proper peas! )

[peapod]

Or was it a bean?

[Mitsy]

I have sown kelvedon wonder which I have just read is a dwarf variety so could explain the slow growth 

And for Mr picaholic 

[DD.]

They are sweet peas!

[peapod]

They are! Gorgeous! (but you cant eat em  )

Give them a sniff..that should clear things up (although not all SPs are fragrant)

[Mitsy]

Erm I didn't plant sweet peas 

Oh dear they are in with the peas too 

I honestly can't remember buying sweet peas 

[DD.]

Erm I didn't plant sweet peas 

Oh yes you did!

[peapod]

Cut flowers and good fresh nosh...its a win win 

[Mitsy]

Hmmm well I just checked my seed box and definatley no sweet pea seeds. Its a mystery  

Well at least there is some colour in the pea corner now  

[peapod]

Maybe its a mystery seed like my thread from yesterday...you planted peas, but got sweet pea rogues  :blink:

[Mitsy]

So do they get pods on? Wouldn't want to get mixed up 

Maybe its a mystery seed like my thread from yesterday...you planted peas, but got sweet pea rogues  :blink:

Well I even gave some to my sister so will have to warn her 

[DD.]

Yes they do get pods, but they will be small and furry, so you won't get them mixed up.

They should be chopped off to prolong the flowering period.

Now you've got it - don't lose it!

[Mitsy]

Thank you all. So glad I asked now
