Kind and caring people......but I was a bit embarrassed.......

Re: Sturt's Dessert Pea
Very pretty...but then you know me -- I like reds and orange colours. No really, Stuart's pea, exactly how wide, big, is this flower? Is it like a vine or something or a "normal" plant that is planted on the ground upright? Guess I should google my question, eh? Very bold colour.

Re: Sturt's Dessert Pea
I googled my question and found my answers then another question popped up because Don Burke said it does not grow in Victoria so I asked why -- actually, it does not grow near the coastal areas from Queensland to Melbourne. Further research revealed that there are now some hybrids that can be grown near coastal states. No wonder it is SA's national flower. It is very beautiful...
I learn something everyday...
Thanks.
