From one pack of seeds a large variety of flowers will bloom. The seedling will curl open push up though the soil and will keep climbing and tangling in among themselves until they reach the top. Even in death as a bunch of cut flowers, its scent will reach out and fill a room for one or two days before the flowers slowly wilt.
Sweetpea you bring so much colour and vitality into my life. I had to have you in my home and so I cut you off the plant, and even then you kept giving in another form until the scent faded in the room but lingers on in my mind whenever I think of you. When I look out into the garden you continue to ramble over the fence with a profusion of new blooms. I think I can keep taking you in until the end of summer.
