Sweet Peas

Remember a few years ago we used to compare Sweet Peas?
This is the second bunch I have picked this year. Not a great variety of colours but a lovely perfume.

They are beautiful I intend to have lots in my new garden.

They're gorgeous Nippy. I haven't planted any this year as the ones I planted 2 years ago didn't do as well as I thought they would.

Thank you
I start mine off around January indoors, then transplant them.

That's more than likely where I go wrong. I wait for a decent type of day then sow my seeds, water them and watch for something to happen

Beautiful, one of my favourites. The flowers are very similar to the flowers on the bougainvillea that grows everywhere here.

Ah, but Bougainvillea does not have the glorious perfume of Sweet Peas - a childhood memory of next door's Sweet Peas pouring over the fence...

They are filling the kitchen with their lovey perfume.

Beautiful Jenny I can smell the scent from here...

Flower perfumes I think I will always remember from my childhood and early teens. Next door's Sweet Peas flowing over the fence from their back garden the Lilies of The Valley that grew under a bush [do not remember what that was] in our front garden. The massive double lilacs in out back garden, and also the huge white lilies.

And the night-scented stock which grew in the grounds of the sanitarium where Father spent 11 months when he had TB.
