The sweet pea is a climbing plant with delicate pastel-colored sweet smelling flowers. April's birth flower.
The poet Keats who sensuously described the beauty in nature had these verses about the sweet pea:
"Sweet Peas, on tiptoe for a flight,With wings of gentle flush, o'er delicate white."
Cultivated since the 17th century, the sweet pea has become one of the most sought after perfume and cologne ingredients. The floral note evokes romanticism and blissful pleasure such as associated with summer.
These beauties are long lasting that they make for a perfect bouquet, easily lasting a week indoors with a daily water change.
