Colors of pea flowers.

I've only grown peas with flowers of 2 colors.  The purple flowers of Dwarf Gray Sugar pea, and the white of all the others I've grown.  So are there other colors available?  If so, does anyone know of someone selling them?

Also what colors of pods are there?  Green, yellow, white, and purple I've heard of.  Are there others?

I know there is also bright red (some snow peas) and salmon.

As for pods, I seem to recall SOMEONE is working on red.

Don't know of any specific sources for either, but if I bump into any, I will let you know.

If it is of any help, I seem to recall that the scarlet flowered snow peas I got once had brick red seeds.

Also, when you say "white" do you mean green with a white cast, or a TRUE creamy white (like a wax bean). I don't think I ever saw a pea pod that color.

I don't have peas in bloom right now.  But as I remember them white blending to green near the base of the petals.

I haven't paid attention to the flowers in the past.  But my daughter, who is an artist, and who loves fresh food from the garden, just had a birthday.  She's 47 and has about everything she wants already.  Not that she has lots of things, but she doesn't want a lot of clutter in her life.  So it is hard to find her a birthday present.  But I think that some colorful snap peas in a big pot on her deck might please her.

I've googled peas with colored flowers but wasn't much help.
