Spurred Butterfly Pea

Wednesday I was driving up our long driveway and I saw this cool flower out of my corner on my eye.   Christa and I got out of the car and went to take a look and see.   Not being a South Carolina native I had to take a stroll through the internet to find what it was.  Centrosema Virginianum or Spurred Butterfly Pea the common name it goes by.Not being a flower expert by any means it was fun to read about it.   This particular flower interesting because it  is a hermaphrodite.  It is also a perennial so we will get to enjoy it next year as well!
