Can't find them either - looked online and in the John Innes Pisum collection, that seems to have a very large database.  Good luck for growing good peas at last.

Waverley rang bells here but just checked: it was Waverex (from Kings Seeds) that I grew last year and they were a nice petit pois type.

Ellen, you know these seeds are much smaller than the others I have , I think you may have solved the mystery, I think they are probably Waverex..I got them from someone in the UK when I appealed for pea varieties last year..it is my handwriting on the zippy, so maybe they came in a paper packet, if they do I usually transfer them to a plastic one as they are stronger. I probably have written it wrong, and it does ring a bell.

I think they came from Galina, Jayb or Goodlife but am not certain.

Thank you so much.

Not one I sent you.  Never grown them.  Looks like you are well on the way of solving the mystery  ;D

Hope your peas grow well for you at long last.

Waverex is not one of mine neither..I do admit sending Vada.

mm, well the mystery continues, They may have been in the round robin that came back.

Anyway for the folks that did  send me pea seeds,thank you all so much, I have lots of varieties started in 4 inch peat pots now, so I should be well away...

Next problem. keeping track of them once they are ready to go out, especially the tall ones.
