Sweet Pea (Lathyrus) – The Fluttering Scent of Summer Memories
At KvětinyExpres.cz, Sweet Peas are the soul of summer romance. With petals that resemble delicate butterfly wings, they bring a sense of movement and nostalgia to every arrangement. Known as the "Queen of Annuals," the Sweet Pea is world-famous for its intoxicating, honey-sweet fragrance.
Why it’s a local treasure:
-
Farmer's Market Star: Because these blooms are so delicate, we love sourcing them locally. In summer, you can often find our fresh bunches at the Kulaťák Farmers Market in Prague or at our Strašnice boutique.
-
Airy Aesthetic: Unlike stiff, commercial flowers, Sweet Peas have graceful, twining stems that add a "cottage garden" feel to high-end designs.
-
Symbolism: It stands for delicate pleasure, bliss, and a fond farewell.
Florist Bára’s Tip (Design Expert): "Sweet Peas are my go-to for creating an ethereal, whimsical look. I love using them in bespoke wedding work because they add a scent that brides will remember forever. Pro tip: To maximize their short but brilliant vase life, keep them in a cool spot and change the water daily. They are the crowning glory of our summer bouquets and add a unique soul to our mixed arrangements."
