Deb,
Of those, Matucana would be your best bet for flowering here. Many of the showiest peas fry before they bloom. The newer showy kinds need many hours of sunlight to bloom. By the time we get that many hours here its too hot for them. The varieties that are heat tolerant are Cuthbertson, Winter Elegance and the old fashioned varieties.
I purchased some seeds that I'm going to try this year. Including this one called "America". I hope it does well. http://www.fragrantgarden.com/sweet pea old fashioned.htm
