Barb, Passiflora caerulea (blue passionflower vine) has fruit that looks
for all the world like a banty chicken egg hanging on the vine. Are you
sure those were Sweet Pea seeds? Like little black/brown bee bees?

What a fun plant ! Will look for seeds on that one. Has anyone grown ( I
can't find it in my seed catalogs) a plant that looks like it has chicken
eggs
hanging it off it? I honestly don't know if its an annual or perennial.
Also, any answer to whether sweet peas (sorry, an annual) cross pollinate
with
sugar snap peas? I only got sugar snaps this year from my sweet pea
flower's
seeds.
