    My son in Virginia sent this photo of a neighbors flowers near Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. I thought it was a "sweet pea" but wasn't sure!

    That's a Lablab purpureus (Hyacinth Bean) very easy to grow. The flowers will fade and fall to be replaced with dark purple seed pods. The seeds are black with a white strip.

    Thank you both for the quick reply! Do you know if these are related to pea plants?

    They are one of my favorite plants now. I think I'll always have some growing... and I've got a few other people hooked on them (thanks to Toni!)
