Can’t resist these silly flamingos holding up last years sweat peas for red and pink week.

This year I put in blue and lavender for their scent.

No matter what color sweat peas make

me think of my grandmother’s garden.

I am sure she had corn and zinnias, too

but the riot of veining sweat peas is all I remember.

Oh and prairie sunbonnet made of gingham

with a cereal box brim. Sweat peas evoke

fond memories of Kerlisa Jane Camp

a name as sweat to me as the flowers she grew.

  1. I love sweet peas so much that I even have sweet pea wallpaper on my downstairs room. I have had incredible success growing them some years, and then failures other years. Your red theme is wonderful!!!

    1. Wow sweet pea wallpaper, that gets a happy face :). My luck is often spotty too.
      Maybe it gets too hot too soon?
