Sweet Peas on Flaunt your Flowers Friday

This is the first year I remembered to plant Sweet Peas in the fall.
I love the way they smell!
A room with a view!
I can see them when standing at my kitchen sink.
In all their multicolored glory.
The Sunbonnet Baby
See the pretty sweet peas
Growing in the sun;
How they lift their faces up,
Laughing every one,
So the sun may peep inside
Their pink bonnets, big and wide.
Eulalie Osgood Grover, 1902
I like to cut them and put them on my table...
and use them for photographs of my real job.
Perfectly Sweet!! Peas!!

  2. I love sweet peas! I used to grow them all the time at our old place - they would just come back every year. I need to get some started here!

    We got 1 1/2 inches of snow today so I don't think I'll be planting seeds today!

  5. I love Sweet Peas! Ours are just a few inches high now, but seeing yours makes me excited for mine to bloom. I love the little lavender bouquet of them.

  7. I love the colors of your sweet peas! I hope the ones I had last year seeded themselves. I haven't seen any so far, but I'm in zone 5b.

    Thanks for visiting my April 8 Fertilizer post. After seeing a number of new comments on the post, I went to Tootsie's blog and clicked on my link. It did lead to that post. If you are interested in seeing my latest one, here's the link:
