Sweet Peas are April’s flower & symbolize delicate or blissful pleasure. Though native to the Aegean Islands, it was a Scottish nurseryman who crossbred the Sweet Pea into the fragrant, butterfly-shaped blossoms we know today. Soon after, it was so popular that no Victorian dinner party or wedding was considered complete without an abundance of Sweet Pea arrangements! In France, a superstition even developed around the flower; Sweet Peas were believed to be good luck for brides because of their ability to make everyone around her tell the truth (I’m not sure that’s what brides need on their wedding day. . but apparently the French thought so). This climbing annual is now available in every color except yellow, despite ongoing efforts by horticulturalists to breed this elusive color.

This print is a reproduction of my original ‘Victoria’ watercolor painting, April’s flower from the Birth Month Botanical Collection. Printed on textured watercolor paper, this giclee print looks very much like the original! I sign each print before carefully wrapping and shipping to you. Birth Month Botanical prints also include a beautiful card with floriography information specific to that flower.
