Lathyrus japonicus (common names Sea Pea, Beach Pea, Circumpolar Pea, Sea Vetchling) is a legume native to temperate coastal areas of Asia, Europe, North and South America.
It is a herbaceous perennial plant growing trailing stems to 50–80 cm long, typically on sand and gravel storm beaches. The leaves are waxy glaucous green, 5–10 cm long, pinnate, with 2-5 pairs of leaflets, the terminal leaflet usually replaced by a twining tendril. The flowers are 14–22 mm broad, with a dark purple standard petal and paler purple wing and keel petals; they are produced in racemes of 2-7 together.
The unusually extensive native range is explained by the ability of the seeds to remain viable while floating in sea water for up to 5 years, enabling the seeds to drift nearly worldwide. Germination occurs when the hard outer seed coat is abraded by waves on sand and gravel.
Snow peas must be one of the easiest and best value things to put in the vegy garden. We've been eating snow peas for about 2 months now and they are still going.

As soon as I saw these peas in the greengrocers I was transported back to being a small child, sat on the back doorstep, podding peas for dinner. My youngest son helped to pod these, and said 'Mum, this is fun, can we do it again?'.

Pea plant. Used as part of crop rotation that incorporates all 4 crop types, this cool-season broadleaf helps build soil health by fixing nitrogen. Placed into rotational system both as a cash crop and also to build soil biology. Dan Buerkle practices the soil health principles on both rangeland and cropland. B&B Farms, Fallon County, MT.

The polytunnel peas aren't very big but provide a very welcome snack. Their outdoor relatives are only just coming into flower

A pea is most commonly the small spherical seed or the seed-pod of the pod fruit Pisum sativum.[1] Each pod contains several peas. Peapods are botanically a fruit,[2] since they contain seeds developed from the ovary of a (pea) flower. However, peas are considered to be a vegetable in cooking. The name is also used to describe other edible seeds from the Fabaceae such as the pigeon pea (Cajanus cajan), the cowpea (Vigna unguiculata), and the seeds from several species of Lathyrus.

Sweet peas (Lathyrus odoratus) are probably the most popular annual flower, being especially prized for their colour and scent. This one started as a seed brought home from play school.

Diga você me conhece
Eu já fui boiadeiro
Conheço estas trilhas
Quilômetros, milhas
Que vem e que vão
Pelo alto sertão
Que agora se chama
Não mais de sertão
Mas de terra vendida
Civilização
Ventos que arrombam janelas
E arrancam porteiras
Espora de prata riscando as fronteiras
Selei meu cavalo
Matula no fardo
Andando ligeiro
Um abraço apertado
Um suspiro dobrado
Não tem mais sertão
Os caminhos mudam com o tempo
Só o tempo muda um coração
Segue seu destino boiadeiro
Que a boiada foi no caminhão
A fogueira, a noite
Redes no galpão
O paiero, a moda,
O mate a proza
A saga a sina
O causo e onça
Tem mais não
Oh peão....
Tempos e vidas cumpridas
Pó poeira estrada
Estórias contidas
Nas encruzilhadas
Em noites perdidas
No meio do mundo
Mundão cabeludo
Onde tudo é floresta
E campinas silvestres
Mundão caba não
Sabe que prum bom viajante
Nada é distante
Prum bom companheiro
Não conta dinheiro
Existe uma vida
Uma vida vivida
Sentida e sofrida
De vez por inteiro
E este é o preço de eu ser brasileiro
Os caminhos mudam com o tempo.
This is the blossom of the Butterfly Pea (Clitoria mariana). It is also called Atlantic Pigeonwings. The flower is irregular in shape and reaches a length of about 5cm or 2 inches. It is a host plant for Hairstreak and Azure butterflies.
It is a perennial vine. The leaves are alternate. Each leaf is divided into three ovate leaflets. It is very rare to see one in my area. This is the only one I have ever seen. I found it along a hiking trail near Grapevine Lake in Texas on May 8, 2011.
This genus was named after the human female clitoris in the 1670s. There was much controversy among botanists regarding the good taste of the naming of the genus but the name has survived to this day. Large Size
