Lovely….? Related to sweet Pea??
Yes. But not a scented species.
Ah, OK 😃
Am I right in thinking that they don’t have a fragrance like sweet peas do?
Yes, you are right, these aren’t fragrant. Very pretty though.
Such a pretty color !
The blossom looks remarkably like that of the hyacinth bean vine. Beautiful!
They come from the same family – Fabaceae – bean and pea / vetchlings We have a perennial pea (Lathyrus latifolius) which is like a vine (unscented) but lovely colours and then there is the sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) which is scented (and my favourite variety).
