Sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus)

in my sister's garden.

Yesterday dawned very foggy so I grabbed my camera for a quick walk around the wetlands before starting work. The phrase pea soup described the gritty polluted air in London during the winters. Our air is not quite so polluted but there is a fair number of wood burning stoves with particulate matter. (We have one too). But there was much beauty walking in the quiet fog at Frog Hollow.

Dad, what is this stuff?

"Peas."

Okay, PLEASE what is this stuff?

"Peas are growing here, Clancy."

Hahaha, and what's growing way off behind me, poos?

"That's corn."

Corn? You mean there's corn in the poos? hahahahaha!

"I swear you're becoming more ridiculous all the time."

I'm becoming poo corny for you?

"Please."

You mean peas.

Hey, look what's growing over there, thank yous!

"Ay, caramba."

peas ;)

Taking ideas from the kitchen again this week. As I prepared my tea the other night I measured out some frozen peas into a cup. Couldn’t resist a few shots before cooking them. I did take some shots during and after but they were less inspirational

The peas have certainly had a lot of pods. They will all be picked before the really hot weather.

Our drive to the cabin was a slow one as we left early in the morning and drove for three hours in heavy fog that was like pea soup. I have not seen such heavy fog last as long as this did. Even the fog in Newfoundland was never this bad when we were there. We were so relieved when the blue skies prevailed about an hour before we got to the park and we had great weather from noon on. I love this image because the cold blue tones of winter show up on the snow while the hint of a sunrise was trying to break through the heavy fog. Happy Tree-mendous Tuesday!

Light on the path.

The sweet peas are planted alongside the fence that leads to our door ... their heavenly scent greets us on exit and entry. Rosa plants them just for me (so she says) because they are my favourite (along with tulips). From year-to-year we never know what colours we will get - this year we have 4 distinct colours including the 'fuchsia' that you see here. A few others from years past are in the first comment box.

Everlasting Pea

Lathyrus latifolius

I finally stopped although it's a bit unnerving to do so on a busy main road with just enough room to pull over. Foolish me, I forgot to collect some seed while I was there.

The sweet pea is a flowering plant in the genus Lathyrus in the family Fabaceae, native to Sicily, southern Italy and the Aegean Islands.

It is an annual climbing plant, growing to a height of 1–2 metres, where suitable support is available.

You see them in many Summergardens, to be planted every year!

Thank you for ALL your faves and comments, M, (* _ *)

We have had 66 days locked-down plus 21 each of Phases One and Two, and now 44 of Phase Three: 152.

Flowers are the theme for today's photos, first an Australian native that grows either as ground cover or as a climber, the Dusky Coral Pea (Kennedia Rubicunda) grows wild where I live. This shot was taken with my phone at the road side in a state forest.

I was late in planting out our sweet peas this year and for a long time didn't think they were going to flower at all, but they did - after everyone else's had finished and they are still hanging on.
