I have four Expatriette seeds. With any luck I'll have some to share later in the year, and you're most welcome to them!

Could I possibly have Visionary instead? Or Unity with the cr gene? These two are top on my wish list when you have plenty of seeds or seeds from the crosses with Telephone.
Seeing it is hard to eat colour or the flower colour has long gone when you get to the peas, how about breeding for more peas in the pod. I have tried to select for 10 peas rather than the regular 8 but always seem to get some of both in following generations.
I beg to differ on flower colours. Peas are such decorative flowering garden plants that (together with beans) they really add beauty to a garden. Looking at all possible flower colours and all possible pod colours is such a novel idea. Likewise looking at other features like modified tendrils and the strangest of all, the Crown Peas. Jayb has shown us pictures of her Crown peas that are just so beautiful. Maybe it is a 'girl thing', but the combination of good utility with beauty in the growing space, is very appealing indeed.
