Is anyone familiar with Ladyfinger Creme peas?

I am looking for a possible source for a few seeds if anyone grows these and saves seeds. Evidently there was a crop failure and no seeds were shipped this spring. I grew up calling them Sunday peas because they are hard to pick and shell due to the petite size. They were only cooked on random sundays or for company. They are similar to the texas creme pea but much smaller. They make a rich clear liquor that is wonderful with a side of fried okra and cornbread. If I can get some and raise a crop I will definitely be saving seed for future crops. It is not a hybrid so they grow true form.

Reminds me of a local native woman, who lived to be 93. She grew baking beans from which she saved seed for decades, which originally she got from my great grandfather. Calico beans was the name and I would guess you can buy them.

If they grow true they are heirlooms(open pollinated).They sound great.They just may be called Lady peas?

My all time most favorite eating experience. I used to spend big money for Lady Peas already shelled and in Ziplock bags at farmer's markets in north Louisiana. Worth every penny.
