My Golden Sweet Pea plants are developing white flecks on some of the leaves, is this normal?
I think this is down to stress; have you just planted them planted them out? The lower leaves on my Serpette Guilotteau are turning white, and some have withered, while the tips are as normal, while the Robinson's Purple Podded, which didn't show a trace of anthocyanin pigmentation before I planted it out, is now quite red.
They haven't withered and they look healthy otherwise.

They are just starting to bloom with a few flowers although this photo is from last year.

I've just been out to take pictures and all the pea plants have some of the speckles, (Onward, Golden Sweet and Purple podded - Desiree)

Awful photos taken with my mobile but you can see them.
