The flowers are only about 10mm wide at the moment. I think they have just come out.

I threw some Sweet Pea seeds in that area around Feb/March time and am wondering if that
is them? I know they should have been planted properly but where I live, the gardens are
taken care of by a contracted company.

My apologies for the blurred picture.
