Bloody hell, where's she been? In the sea? Does Conrod know you've got it?

Lathyrus a.k.a Sweetpea!!!
The genus Lathyrus consists of the sweet peas and vetchlings, flowering plants in the legume family Fabaceae. There are approximately 160 species of
Lathyrus; they are native to temperate areas, with a breakdown of 52 species in Europe, 30 species in North America, 78 in Asia, 24 in tropical East
Africa, and 24 in temperate South America.[1] There are annual and perennial species which may be climbing or bushy. This genus has numerous sections,
including Orobus, which was once a separate genus.[2]
The genus includes the garden sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) and the perennial everlasting pea (Lathyrus latifolius). Flowers on these cultivated
species may be rose, red, maroon, pink, white, yellow, purple or blue and some are bicolored; they are also fragrant, which makes them a very popular
garden plant. Cultivated species are susceptible to fungal infections including downy and powdery mildew. Lathyrus species are used as food plants by
the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including Grey Chi, Latticed Heath (both recorded on Meadow Vetchling) and Chionodes braunella.

I'm resigned to the fact that my car is sitting unfinished in the garage and will continue to do so due to my current financial situation and
will probably remain that way for at least the next year
I have no doubt one way or another donuts new car will be on the road before mine - no popcorn required!
