Salmon Flowered Peas
« on: July 29, 2011, 14:07:04 »
I've been collecting my peas for seed saving and found these wonderfully bright coloured Salmon Flowered peas, in separate pods, but alongside the normal ones. I love their colour. I wonder if they have cross pollinated with some of the nearby purple podded peas?

Possibly...
I have the HSL Salmon Flowered if you want it... the flowers are very pretty and all come together at the top of the plant.. the seeds are really speckled as well...  :)

interesting as none of my seeds could be described as speckled. Some have a hue, but these ones really caught my eye.
And yes they did flower all at the top of the plant - I thought I'd done something wrong initially!  ::)

I might just take you up on your offer.......

My seeds are greeny-brown, round, and unspeckled. Normally it's only a few (probably very old) podding peas like Carlin Pea and Latvian pea, and pre-20th Century mangetouts which have the speckled seeds.
