Anyone heard of a pea called Kentish Blue (or anything like it)?

The pod + peas are green but it has a georgeous deep blue + purple flower. Sweet flavoured peas too.

I've been looking around, and found a pea called 'Kent Blue' which is listed in this Danish site at http://www.froesamlerne.dk/varieties.html. Could this be it?

Following the trail, took me to the Henry Doubleday & Heritage Seed library... http://www.hdra.org.uk/hsl/, where if you put the term 'Kent Blue' into the search box, you end up at an 'adopt a...' page. So it seems it is available, but you'll have to enquire further at the HDRA +/- the Heritage Seed Library to get the full information on how to acquire some seeds.

Thanks Gadfium for the help.
