I have heard such great things about this pea's taste....so what a pleasant surprise today to smell the lovely white flowers...reminds me of vanilla/ honey
Really? I never noticed. Pity I am not growing them this year. Enjoy. Will make a note to check next time in my pea database. By the way I wonder how many peas in the pod you get? They are so well filled. :icon_cheers: :sunny:
Spoke to Real Seeds ( lovely people) and they say they have had another customer contact re Lord Leicester with same thing....they think its related to weather. What a nice bonus!
I haven't noticed any scent on my peas (will check properly later though) but my potato blossoms smell wonderful. I suppose that's the weather too.

I have a feral chard volunteer in my polytunnel and it was well out of the way so it had time to flower. No visible petals but the smell of honey is overpowering - I try to persuade visitors that it is my "odour of sanctity".
Cheers.
Scent of Chard-onnay ;)
I've got seeds for next year, I must remember to sniff.
Had a sniff at my Telephone flowers, yep, faint sweet smell. :)
