    I found this in my pasture and would like to move it to a container or perhaps plant in the yard, but I have no idea what it is or how big it gets. I thought maybe it was in the legume family, but have looked at thousands of pictures and cannot find one that matches the bloom, though there are many with similar leaves. It was in bloom when I took the pictures in September/early October. The bloom was yellowish green the first time I saw it, but had tuned a reddish purple the next week when I was in the pasture. The ones in my pasture are about two feet tall and have about 6 or eight sets of leaves. The blooms are hidden from view unless you are up close.
    Thanks for any help identifying this plant.

    Thanks so much for the reply and knowing the identity of my mystery plant. I guess it will grow right where it is since it can't be moved successfully. There are at least five of these growing there.
