▶ "Centrosema virginianum — commonly known as spurred butterfly-pea, wild blue vine, blue bell, and wild pea— is a trailing or climbing vine in the legume family (Fabaceae), native to the Americas, in tropical and subtropical areas, from Uruguay and northern Argentina to the eastern United States, and in Bermuda. Centrosema virginianum occurs naturally in pine flatwoods, sandhills, coastal strands, and interdunal swales.
Centrosema virginianum's showy flowers are papilionaceous, meaning they are butterfly-shaped and highly specialized to allow for bee pollination. Blooms are inverted (upside down) and may be bluish, purple, pink or near-white.
The blossoms are ephemeral, lasting only half a day, but typically bloom daily during flowering season (summer, but can bloom spring through fall, or year-round in tropical areas). The upper petal, known as a banner, has the appearance of two spurred wings. They enclose two fused petals that form a keel in the center of the bloom. The center is white with purplish stripes; this guides bees (and other insects) to the nectar source below the keel. "

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, (* _ *)

Kennedia rubicunda (Dusky Coral Pea) is a species of flowering plant in the family Fabaceae, endemic to Australia. It occurs in the states of Victoria and New South Wales and Queensland
In answer to Gabi's Question below, the pea branches were lined up like this where I found them. They are like sweet peas in that they send out branches each looking for something to hold on to.
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.
The work of Chesapeake Bay watermen is never done, and they work in all sorts of weather, including dense morning fog.

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.

I'm really enjoying my sweet peas in the garden this year, lots of colour and the perfume is wonderful.
Pink splashes of Sweet Peas spread contagiously throughout my old garden in attempts to remind me there is possibility, there is hope.
…… 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:-)

I was looking at a different scene for sunset other than the big usual landmarks on the Outer Banks, NC. Maybe a place to revisit with better conditions.
sigh.
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.
$300...
sigh.
but i love her, so whatcha gonna do.
Peafowl, also known as peacocks and peahens, are a species of bird renowned for their striking beauty. The male peafowl is especially notable for its iridescent blue-green feathers and signature extravagant train, which can reach up to six feet in length. Peafowl are indigenous to South Asia but have been introduced to other parts of the world through human intervention. They typically inhabit forested areas where they feed on insects, reptiles, and plants. Due to their stunning appearance, peafowl are often kept as ornamental birds in parks and gardens around the world.
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.
