Wouldn't it be nice if the peacock would be called "Pea"? :)

Flower is Sweet Pea, not seen here very often. This one was growing in the wild along a river bank.

I spilled the peas this morning. Some were on the floor too. Just what you need on a Monday before breakfast.
Sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a flowering plant in the genus Lathyrus in the family Fabaceae (legumes), native to the Sicily, southern Italy and the Aegean Islands.
It is an annual climbing plant, growing to a height of 1–2 meters (nearly six feet and six inches), where suitable support is available. The leaves are pinnate with two leaflets and a terminal tendril, which twines around supporting plants and structures helping the sweet pea to climb. The flowers are purple, 2-3.5 centimeters broad, in the wild plant, larger and very variable in color in the many cultivars.
The annual species, L. odoratus, may be confused with the everlasting pea, L. latifolius, a perennial
Henry Eckford (1823–1905), a Scottish nurseryman, cross-bred and developed the sweet pea, turning it from a rather insignificant, if sweetly scented flower, into the floral sensation of the late Victorian era.
His initial success and recognition came while serving as head gardener for the Earl of Radnor, raising new cultivars of pelargoniums and dahlias. In 1870 he went to work for one Dr. Sankey of Sandywell near Gloucester. A member of the Royal Horticultural Society, he was awarded a First Class Certificate (the top award) in 1882 for introducing the sweet pea cultivar 'Bronze Prince', marking the start of association with the flower. In 1888 he set up his development and trial fields for sweet peas in Wem in Shropshire. By 1901, he had introduced a total of 115 cultivars, out 264 cultivars grown at the time. Eckford was presented with the RHS Victoria Medal of Honour for his work. He died in 1906 but his work was continued, for a time at least, by his son John Eckford.
More recently, the association between the sweet pea, the Eckfords and Wem has been highlighted again. In the late 1980s, the Sweet Pea Society of Wem started an annual show and the town has again taken the flower to its heart. Many of the street signs now carry a sweet pea motif and an area of the town is known as Eckford Park. There is also a cultivar 'Dorothy Eckford', named after a family member.
Unlike the edible pea, there is evidence that seeds of members of the genus Lathyrus are toxic if ingested in quantity. A related species, Lathyrus sativus, is grown for human consumption but when it forms a major part of the diet it causes symptoms of toxicity called lathyrism.
In studies of rats, animals fed a diet of 50% sweet pea seeds developed enlarged adrenals relative to control animals fed on edible peas. The main effect is thought to be on the formation of collagen. Symptoms are similar to those of scurvy and copper deficiency, which share the common feature of inhibiting proper formation of collagen fibrils. Seeds of the sweet pea contain beta-aminopropionitrile that prevents the cross-linking of collagen by inhibiting lysyl oxidase, leading to loose skin. Recent experiments have attempted to develop this chemical as a treatment to avoid disfiguring skin contractions after skin grafting.

I planted pea seeds in late May but I didn't really expect for them to take.
Lucky for me they did grow into huge, organic, tasty peas. Delicious.
Quick 1hr smash up with 3dom.
Looks a lot bloodier in real life,and if it was a half decent camera you may see it!...(Sigh).
Just a few cut sweet peas from the garden! For more information on my images, please see my profile. Thank you!

Fresh Pea Soup topped with bacon and parmigiano cheese served with a chilled Chardonnay. Food styling by wife :) This photo is part of "The Culinary Project".
It is a Finnish tradition to eat pea soup on Thursdays. For the first time, we used fresh summer peas which made the soup sweeter and the green color turned out much more vivid than when using frozen peas.
The photo to the left is with natural light only (backlit with window light), while the photo to the right is 100% lit with a studio strobe.
Strobist information:
Backlit with a single studio strobe in a soft box, and a long reflector was positioned on the other side to lift some of the shadows from the plate. The spoon was shot separately with the soft box positioned camera right and above the spoon. The two shots where then put together in post.
