Sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a flowering plant in the genus Lathyrus in the family Fabaceae (legumes), native to Sicily, Cyprus, southern Italy and the Aegean Islands. It was derived from the Geek word “lathyros” which means pulse or pea. “Odoratus” on the other hand is a Latin word that means fragrant. When it comes to floral language, the sweetpea flower is associated with delicate pleasure, blissful pleasure, departure, goodbye, thank you for the lovely time and adieu. It’s also well known that it is the birth flower of April. The sweet pea is a flower that was discovered and really promoted by one man and that is Henry Eckford. What he did was actually develop the flower and to form it into the blossoming flower that people know and love today. From the point that he created the sweet pea, it really took off and became a flower that throughout the Victorian age was so well known. It is important to note that while the sweet pea is a flower that so many people love, it is definitely not one that should be eaten as it does have a neurotoxin in it. But, this flower actually symbolizes many thanks and offers people blissful pleasure.
