Sweet Peas

@TheMadHedger , this is the colour of a budding Sweet Pea , top left in photo . It is what I describes as yellowy green . The flowers come out their true colour as below.

What is it and is it doing any harm ?

TIA

These have been the best of the best this year. Of the three varieties I sowed, this one has been flowering non stop!

Well I've found the correct name Lathyrus Lathfolius..

 

Thank you for your kind reaction to my Matucana

I have "Everlasting Sweet Pea" that I planted this year. It is just about to come into flower (planted it later than ought to). I know they do not have the fragrance of annual Sweet Peas, but I'm after height and colour and that fits the bill nicely.

Last year @martin-f planted Everlasting sweet peas and had a wonderful show; this year too it seems
