Turquoise

This is a superb semi-dwarf sweet pea called 'Turquoise'. The petals start off  mauve but gradually turn turquoise blue. You can see this on the two lower flowers (these are the ones that open first). 

I started feeling unwell yesterday afternoon with coughing, a stiff neck and a headache. When I went out to cut the sweet peas this morning I realised that I couldn't smell them. We both did Covid tests and are both positive. So the spaniel will only get short walks today.
