Hi Can anyone Id this cutting it was located in someone's front garden but I have seen it growing wild in the area I live! You can't see from the cutting but it produces pleasant purple pink flowers! The flowers when expired seem to produce some sort of pea or bean pod. I find it quite attractive when in bloom but each time I have passed them I've been without phone or camera. I was just wondering if it was and ornamental, edible, annual or perennial etc. It seems to have tentacles (I know that's not the correct term doh) similar to a passion fruit climber but not sure if they serve the same purpose? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Looks like Lathyrus odoratus...commonly called Sweet pea. A beautiful ornamental flower with a gorgeous scent. Grown in UK as an annual. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=L...GM7AbH84GoCw&ved=0CAgQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=967 http://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/profile?PID=464 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sweet_pea It uses the tentacles..or tendrils to climb up bamboo/fences etc. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=L...%2FFile%3ALathyrus_odoratus_5_ies.jpg;800;700 There is also perennial sweet pea Lathyrus latifolius. However, flowers are not so scented. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=l...is3sBqPzgLAG&ved=0CAYQ_AUoAQ&biw=1920&bih=967
