    Took a walk in the field behind the house today. The guy that owns it, put it into the land bank last year and sowed it to prairie grasses etc. Here is what I found growing there. They are all over the 20 acre field.

    I think it is some kind of wild vetch. But I thought vetch had a blue or lavendar colored flower. The leves do look like vetch though. Sure is a pretty flower.
