Sweet Pea Floral Arrangements

Sweet peas, known for their enchanting fragrance and delicate blossoms, have graced gardens and bouquets since the 17th century. Their origin traces back to the Aegean Islands, where a Sicilian monk, Franciscus Cupani, first took notice of them. Fascinated, he sent seeds to England and the Netherlands, setting the stage for their popularity in Victorian society. By the 19th century, the breeding of sweet peas had become an art form, culminating in an explosion of colors and forms that continue to captivate florists and gardeners today.
