From all accounts, she's as sweet as any sixteen-year-old can be. So sweet, in fact, that her birth flower is the sweet pea! The sweet pea's botanical name is lathyrus odoratus, which provides a pretty good clue as to one of its major attributes-it's lovely fragrance. Lathyrus is Greek for "pea" or "pulse" and odoratus is Latin for "fragrant." The name is apt, since anyone who has ever had the pleasure of walking past a sweet pea plant in full bloom has experienced a pulse of a lovely, soft, and slightly sweet fragrance. It is widely believed that the term "sweet pea" was first used by the poet John Keats who wrote: Here are sweat peas, on tip-toe for flight With wings of gentle flusho'er delicate white, And taper fingers catching at all things To bind them all about with tiny rings. The sweet pea is an annual flower variety that is a climbing plant, which may grow to heights reaching up to three feet. They are available in a great many colors, including pink, purple, blue, red, yellow, and white. (The sweet pea is also available in a perennial variety, but this variety does not produce fragrant flowers.) Sweet peas make an excellent decorative flower that will climb fences, trellises where the sun is bright and water drainage is good. The sweet pea first gained popularity in the early 1700s when it was grown for its fragrance. Their fragrance was important since bathing wasn't a frequent occurrence at this time in history, so ladies carried small bouquets of flowers called nosegays, which they sniffed to avoid unpleasant odors-the sweet pea's beautiful scent made an excellent choice for inclusion in these nosegays. Today, the common floral meaning for the sweat pea is "blissful pleasure" and it is largely grown for its beauty and scent. It is, in fact, often referred to as the "Queen of Annuals." It has had other meanings throughout history as well. The sweet pea was the emblem for Edwardian England where it was often used in wedding and party arrangements. It has also been featured in old wives tales. For example, it was once believe that sweet pea seeds planted before St. Patrick's Day would have bigger, better-scented blooms. Born in the month of the sweet pea, Emma Watson's sweet personality can only help her to rise in popularity as an actress just as the sweet pea has grown in popularity over the years. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Wesley Berry is member of the American Academy of Floriculture (AAF) and President of Wesley Berry Flowers, a successful multi-million dollar floral business that was established in 1946.
