Just a normal sweet pea, but perhaps no so normal. It originates from one of my stray seeds growing in the ground opposite my garden, where many are growing. Its colour should be pink like all the others, but this one decided to be white: one of nature’s tricks I suppose.
FOTD 23rd August 2020: Sweet Pea
They do that sometimes. I have taken seed from the white ones, but they either do not germinate, or grow into plants that bloom pink. (Only a few grew, and only where unplanned.) I found a white blooming vine at work that I will dig up and can as it dies back this autumn. I can then relocate it to a more prominent situation. It is not as pretty as the pink, but I like it because it is white. There are a few on the roadside that bloom with double flowers. There was one in my former neighborhood that was both white and double. I prefer the single white.

That was very interesting and solved a few problems. I had a white sweet pea plant in my garden once, the only one in that colour.

Problems? White is nice too, especially if you like a mix of color.
The annual sweet peas bloom in all sorts of colors, and are fragrant, but I no longer grow them. I used to send seed to my niece who really likes them, even though they bloom only briefly. Perennial peas last longer here, and grow wild on the roadsides and such.
