Description
This blue sweet pea made me think of a butterfly. I bet any butterfly who saw this would have romantic, sweet-pea dreams for a week! :)
No sneak factor - this is from Ann's garden, and she was standing right there. I think she called me every day for a week, giving me updates on this plant. She wanted to make sure I got pictures of it at just the right time! (This is from July.)
Ann tells me that blue sweet peas are rare. I'd never seen one before, that's for sure! This is a tiny thing - not much bigger than the end of my thumb.

Very much like a butterfly, gorgeous flower and beautiful photo Tara
I love the color in this beautiful photo.
Wow. This blue sweet pea is a first for me, too! Lovely capture!
Beautiful shot, I love the colors too!
That sure looks like a butterfly to me, with those translucent veined wings, but the resemblance ends there with that portly body. In any event, I really like the soft colors and fragility displayed in this sweet pea flower. Great clarity in this macro, Tara!
outstanding work
That is one beautiful sweet pea! You sure did a great job of photographing it for us. As a child my mom and I always grew sweet peas and I love them to this day, so thanks for the wonderful memory of my mom.
Would you believe I still have sweet peas blooming out on my deck??? It's been freezing and we've had snow on them and still they keep coming?? But I've never seen a blue one like this? It's just gorgeous!!!!!!
I don't think I've ever seen a blue sweet pea, this is so lovely, so exquisite, and it looks very much like a butterfly!
That is blue, excellent capture!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Beautiful in blue! And it does look like a butterfly... Great photo.
The color is so well developed with the lighting here. The veining is great and the pov is excellent.
It does look like something ready for flight..great color and POV..
I thought it was a butterfly at first. Very nice shot. Aloha

wonderful colour
OMG'S Tara ! this is super stunning...such beautiful eye candy !
Oh yes, look like it and very nice color and composition on your picture ! Excellent ! Good day :)
Very beautiful!!!
What a rare color for a flower. Rather turquoise blue on my screen. Wonderful little flower that could look a little like a Lathyrus. Just not the right time for that to be. Gorgeous shot it is.
I've seen blue and white and blue and pink but never one totally blue before. My wife loves her sweet peas and always has some strung up along the fence, I must take more note of them this next year. The veining is great reminds me of lungs, how its positioned. Fantastic macro Tara, excellent work. Bravo!!!!!
Gorgeous! I have never seen blue either The one we have on this side are pink leaning toward purple and wild!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness... what a wonderful closeup shot of this sweet pea. I loved the ones my mother grew when I was little, but I don't think I ever looked real close. This is lovely!
Beautiful picture. Todd
