Peas are not unisexual because a single flower of a pea contains both pistil and stamen, so it is said that pea flowers are androgynous rather than unisexual. Pea flowers come in many colors such as white, pink and purple. Pea flowers usually come in both semi-heavy and heavy petals. The flowers are very similar in shape to butterfly wings.

Are peas monoecious

Peas produce flowers and fruit, and the seeds of peas are wrapped in a seed coat, so peas are angiosperms rather than gymnosperms. There will be female and male flowers on the same pea, so peas are monoecious plants.

When peas bloom

The inflorescence type of peas is a raceme, with one or two flowers growing on each inflorescence. Peas usually bloom in April or May of each year, in late spring or early summer, and the flowers usually last for more than half a month or about a month.

Pea flower pollination

Peas are self-pollinated and closed-flower pollinated. Generally peas complete the pollination process on their own before they bloom, and peas can also fall into the category of insect-pollinated flowers. If peas are hand-pollinated, they are generally heterogamous.
