Crushing on Sweet Pea week of 2/18

We are loving Japanese Sweet Pea this week, the vibrant colors and the sweet fragrance makes this a perfect flower to add to any arrangement or stick a few stems in a bud vase.

This trending flower, which is also known as Lathyrus Odoratus, symbolizes bliss or delicate pleasure and may also be used to indicate someone is leaving after a positive experience or as a term of endearment. The Sweet Pea is also April’s Birth Flower.
The Sweet Pea flower can be traced back as far as the 1700s. Maybe it was William Shakespeare, that was thinking about the Sweet Pea flower when he wrote: “ Parting is such sweet sorrow “? You can find some elaborate, exquisite, and immaculate arrangements online using Sweet Peas. It is a trending flower and the Wedding flower of choice by more and more of the millennial generation.
