Diamond Delight: A Quick Refresher
Before we get swept away by the sweet scent of sweet peas, let's take a moment to recap and marvel at the magnificence of diamonds! Ranking a perfect 10 on the Mohs scale, diamonds are truly the invincible gem in the jewelry world! Did you know that in Ancient Greece, diamonds were referred to as "adamas," meaning "invincible" and "indestructible"? Talk about a gem with some serious history and muscle!

Sweet Pea: A Floral Treat
Now, let's shift our focus from dazzling rocks to fragrant blooms! Say hello to sweet pea, the darling of April's floral scene! With its scientific name "lathyrus odoratus" and its nickname "Queen of the Annuals," sweet pea reigns supreme in the Fabaceae family, rubbing shoulders with beans and legumes (it’s not a crop pea, but it’s a close relative). Discovered in sunny southern Italy by the Sicilian monk Francis Cupani in the late 1600s, sweet pea brings a touch of Mediterranean magic to your garden!
