Is the flower of the sweet pea edible? Not the vegetable variety but the fregrant flower?

At this website:

They wrote: Pea Blossoms - NOTE: Flowering ornamental sweet peas are poisonous. Edible garden peas bloom mostly in white, but may have other pale coloring. The blossoms are slightly sweet and crunchy and they taste like peas. The shoots and vine tendrils are edible, with a delicate, pea-like flavor. Here again, remember that harvesting blooms will diminish your pea harvest, so you may want to plant extra.

If it doesn't produce edible pea pods Don't eat those flowers. You can go to the website and see what other flowers are edible.
