This pea was sowed much later than the others, after my experimental pea Legacy failed to produce the cerise flowers I was looking for. Luckily I had a backup accession ready to go.
I sowed the seeds on the 23rd of June and the first flower opened today, so 50 days from sowing to flowering. It's about a week behind Unity, which is in the pot next to it. The plant is definitely climbing rather than dwarf but it isn't terribly tall - that's probably related to it growing in relatively poor conditions - I'd estimate it might get to 150cm.
I don't have much other information about it as there are no pods yet, but I'll update this later.


More photos later too.
Beacon is expressing ce, cerise/appleblossom flowers. I'm planning to make the cross Beacon x Unity as soon as the two plants flower in synch, which will hopefully produce a ce cr plant with pale rose purple flowers. And next year I'll do Telephone x Beacon, to incorporate cerise into my Rainbow Pea project.
