The Butterfly Pea is in the pea family but surprisingly it is not frequented by butterflies but some people think it resembles a butterfly. The Butterfly Pea is a perennial vine up to three feet long, it is a twining vine and not a climbing vine, like many plants in the pea family it has trifoliate leaves, the entire plant is hairless. This plant has large flowers with one to three flowers together and they can be up to two inches long, later in the season the plants produce flowers that are self fertilise and therefore they never fully form.
Pink splashes of Sweet Peas spread contagiously throughout my old garden in attempts to remind me there is possibility, there is hope.
Sweet Peas photographed in the Kitchen Garden of The Deer Park Country House Hotel Honiton Devon. A beautiful hotel with incredible grounds.
We planted a late crop of peas in the polytunnel back in October, the plants grew well, about 5ft tall & the flowers do get pollinated but the resulting pea pods are very poor & quite stringy. All is not lost though, Rio & Ginny our Quaker parrots love munching on them.

…… Another ‘at home’ day doing a few little jobs and trying to avoid the heat! Jill found a shady spot to harvest the Blackcurrants and picked the Sweet peas which have had another flurry - and they made it to be my #191 picture of the day again! Taken on my Phone in Apple RAW and edited in Lightroom. Alan:-)

while i was on travel last week, pea got into a scrap with one of my ex-wife's dogs over some doggy treat. (she stays with the ex- and the kids while i'm out of town). pea ended up with two puncture wounds on her legs and an infection. i took her to the vet today to get her fixed up rather than take the risk of it getting worse.

sigh.

I'm not a fan of paths up the hills but this slabbed path in the Cheviot Hills was a blessing on this pea soup of a day.
Sea Pea / lathyrus japonicus. Sizewell, Suffolk. 15/08/20.
'LIVING ON THE EDGE.'
A coastal plant and nationally scarce in the UK. I've only ever seen Sea Pea growing at the back of the shingle beach at Sizewell and sadly now, in ever diminishing quantity. I've read that once it was so abundant along the East Anglian coastland that it was harvested by the inhabitants of Aldeburgh in times of famine. Now it is a protected plant under the Wildlife & Countryside Act of 1981 and must not be picked.
You need to be flat on the ground and face to face with it to appreciate the full beauty of it's flowers.
BEST VIEWED LARGE.
Great-Grandma & Zane.
Today would have been my parents' 69th Wedding Anniversary! (But my Dad died just before their 31st Wedding Anniversary).
We took Zane to visit his Great-Grandma today. Mum enjoyed showing Zane how she was growing Snow Peas.

I was so taken with Monknash beach on my frst visit Friday afternoon that I took my girlfriend back the next day, lured by the promise of good food and ales at the Plough and Harrow just up the road (delicious faggotts incidentally and a rather tastey Pontypridd-brewed pale ale).
What I liked about this scene (taken just after sunset) was the soft light, pastel colour and soft formless clouds and water all being cut through by the rough slab of rock.
