Marilyn, The blue pea flower, is an annual sweet pea with a really strong perfume. Lathyrus odorata Cupani or Matucana. I sowed the seeds in situ last October/November.
They started flowering in February and continued until I went to England in the last days of May.
Unfortunately, due to illness, I was away much longer than planned.
The garden did not get watered whilst I was away and when I returned, they were finished.

The whole garden gets hand watered once a fortnight.
I think it is because I am greedy
and plant everything close together, that the soil remains moist.
