The story goes that as my parents in their early married days drove the red dirt desert track to central Australia in Dad's Holden Station wagon, my mother shrieked loudly to STOP! STOP! Dad screeched to a halt in terror and my mother threw herself from the car.  He found her marvelling over Sturt's Desert peas on the ground by the side of the road.  She was enraptured, he...

The pea runs along the ground with it's blue green furry foliage and sends up upright crowns of glossy red pea flowers. Such a wonderful favourite.
