I'm sure I have some seed from that grow-out. Drop me a pm with your address and I'll be glad to send you some!  |

I second Sugar Magnolia a try. Probably the best tasting commercial purple podded variety. And it does have hyper tendrils. That is why my red snap line has them now, sugar magnolia was the purple parent variety. Bicolor purple flowers, yes. A keeper.

For those of you who haven't migrated to the OSSI forum, I'll post my update over here too.
I just planted all my red podded peas "Rebsie style" in some root trainers. I'm proceeding with my plan to cull those that don't have hyper-tendrils, which is why I am starting them all in root trainers as the hyper-tendril trait is very apparent even in the early seedling stage.
Then I can proceed with plan #2 and cross them with Midnight Snow for an improved red-podded pea in the F2 generation.

i hope they are mostly what you are after! Yeah. As they stand now they have really good red color. But they have no flavor. If i can get the color AND the flavor I'll be set. And if i can get hyper-tendrils (aka: semi-leafless) along the way then that is a bonus! |

i think the first planting of peas i put in will survive. the lowest temperature in the forecast was last night and that was only down to about 27F and the peas are just now coming through the ground/sprouting so perhaps i dodged the worst of it and timed this planting just right. one more night in the high 20s and then back up towards warmer temperatures. i'm not sure we'll avoid any future frosts, but at least the trend is improving with each day... |

For what it is worth: I have 2 red podded peas growing amidst a sea of white flowering green podded sugar snap peas. I planted a third of this package of peas two years ago, another third last year and the rest this year. They have always been all white flowers and sweet green sugar snap peas. A single side tendril on one branch had two flowers that went from white to crimson red. All the other tendrils of the plant (same exact stalk) so far have been the standard pea pods. I am not much of a gardener and was totally astonished at the development of these crimson red pods. My sister sent me a link to this topic. I was unable to attach a picture, some error due to this forum not being able to support any more pictures. I do not yet know what the pods will look like when fully grown but I intend to eat one (to see how it tastes) and plant the other.

karilyse Please do tell us how this continued, a mutation perhaps? Very interesting. Yes I have come across the same photo problem, but you description was very clear so no picture needed. Just curious what happened then.
