Hi, plant folks! I had a volunteer vine come out of nowhere that I noticed about six weeks ago. It's growing on top of my plumbago. It looked like something in the Fabaceae family, but that's a big family! I decided to wait and see if it would bloom because I doubted I could get an ID otherwise. Well, it bloomed, and it's kind of pretty. If it's something native, I wouldn't mind keeping it as a host plant for my butterflies. I haven't seen any caterpillars on it, but maybe I'll know why if I find out what it is. Just wanted to add that I'm not sure where this came from. I've had some plants "reappear" this year after Dad tilled the soil and turned up some seeds, but this doesn't look like anything I can ever recall planting. Thanks in advance!
