Many of the upper leaves have these white margins. Neat.  |

Homesteader/Lincoln. May I just say that these make nice pea shoots even though they aren't the classic type used.

My variegated pea is flowering. Interesting that the variegation seems to happen more on one side.  |

I've seen occasional leaves like that on otherwise normal plants, which makes me wonder what causes it. If it's not a regular feature of the variety, it's presumably not genetic.

Wow, that's amazing! I've never seen that in peas before. I don't know much about variegation ... is it usually a genetic sport or an environmental reaction to something? It'll be fascinating to see this develop, so do keep us posted.

I know that some variegated plants are grown from seed and some are only propogated vegetatively. Occasionally, you get seedlings of various plants that are all white and die because of a lack of chlorophyll production.
There are silver spots on this particular type of pea but this is something else. It occurs all along the plant with a higher prevelance on one side. Anyhow, I am saving the seeds for fun.

Wow another unusual pea, you have my interest  Can you confirm that the tendrils are white too, it looks like it from the picture? |

The tendrils next to variegated spots are white yes.
Should be fun to see if I get any seedlings that show the same trait.

Could it be a chimera? Chimeric variegation is found in other plants.

I don't suppose there is much information about the genetic part of the variegation in Peas, I suppose it is something that is recessive,...but then if it's a totally new mutation like Piebaldism in humans...well Piebaldism doesn' t skip generations..i'm stopping now before I think too much..  |

I just spotted leaves turning white on my Serpette Guilotteau. I haven't grown it before, and it's only been out a few days so I gave it a good soaking just in case. None of the other varieties I'm growing are showing anything of the sort.
