Yes, Spring vetchling is Lathyrus vernus.  The blue one isn't found on the internet as yet - not that i could see.  It's called L.v. 'Katrink's Blue' , a seedling that was found in Katrink Hull's garden.  "Beautiful caerulean blue mixed w shades of violet blue, this free-lowering plant will knock your socks off in bloom".

I have the species & Albo Roseus.  I'll have to look for your "Regenbogen".  I love these little darlings!

Lil,
Are these all Lathyrus vernus, or are there other species involved as a number of Lathyrus species are referred to as “vetchling”?  A brief search shows a Lathyrus vernus 'Alboroseus', a very pretty pink, although I am intrigued by the carmine red (I have a “thing” for red).

Think I found a source here for the Coreopsis.  BUT!!! a blue spring vetchling - how great. Must put that on my lust list. I have a carmine-red, light pink, white one now and love the plant. When I moved last year it was one of the first things I replaced.
