Re: game for the day....

The Perennial Sweet Pea I have is definitely weedy, and very hardy.  I have 
to keep pulling
out chunks of it from the bank where it grows, as it overwhelms everything 
else, but 
doesn't stay looking good in late summer.  I do love the blooms, though. This 
is not
a named cultivar. I can't remember where it came from, but I've had it many 
years. 
Grows on a south-facing bank under a tree, so gets about half-day sun.

We have tried several varieties of Perennial Sweet Pea, Lathyrus latifolius
and none have survived here in Zone 5a, so I've tended to believe the Zone 6
rating.  Apparently we've been trying the wrong ones!  Will have to look for
those.  The other problem I had in identifying that one is that, although
Donna took a great picture, it is just the flower with a little stem and no
description of height or habit, other than the oblique 'weeedy'.  That's why
I thought possibly another legume.
