Description
This macro photograph of pink sweet peas climbing on a fence was taken while visiting friend her flower gardens.
Sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a flowering plant in the genus Lathyrus in the family Fabaceae (legumes), native to the eastern Mediterranean.
It is an annual climbing plant, growing to a height of 12 meters (nearly six feet and six inches), where suitable support is available. The leaves are pinnate with two leaflets and a terminal tendril, which twines around supporting plants and structures helping the sweet pea to climb. The flowers are purple, 2-3.5 centimeters broad, in the wild plant, larger and very variable in color in the many cultivars.
I hope you have enjoyed this photograph and will share it with others. You can see more of my work on my homepage and in the various galleries I developed. Thank you for visiting and please come back.
