Lathyrus Sylvestris, Perennial Sweetpea


Day 291: Perennial Sweetpea is a common sight along roadsides throughout North America. Not as fragrant as its domestic cousin L. odoratus, it still has a pleasant scent when brought indoors in large bouquets. Considered something of a pest, it tangles moist ditches and pasturelands, so if you spot it, you need not feel any pangs of conscience for gathering handsful of the long-stemmed flower stalks to bring indoors. Just mind you don't get your feet tangled in the tough vines.
