Hi,

I found a beautiful flower growing wild in my backyard. Normally I can google any flowers that I am unfamiliar with and am quickly able to figure it out. This one has me stumped. Here is s picture of it.

Thank you,
Mrs. SP

Welcome to the site!

Looks like a Vicia, maybe Vicia sylvatica wood vetch

Yes, it does! Very pretty. They're nice to have around, but vetches can be invasive, so be sure to limit its spread.
Behind every opportunity is a disaster in waiting.
