Lathyrus sp.
« on: August 07, 2009, 08:23:37 PM »
Anyone in to species peas?

I was given seeds of this species this time last year. I didnt get round to sowing them until last month. Only two germinated when soaked in water. Amazingly within 24 hours both had root tips pushing through. I forgot about them until I was weeding nearby. The white caught my eye. Unfortunately it has no scent.

The last one was seen in a garden today
