Sweet Pea
Lathyrus odoratus
43.0904, -79.0861
Field Notes
Description:
It is an annual climbing plant, growing to a height of 1–2 meters (nearly six feet and six inches), where suitable support is available. The leaves are pinnate with two leaflets and a terminal tendril, which twines around supporting plants and structures helping the sweet pea to climb.
Habitat:
Native to the eastern Mediterranean region from Sicily east to Crete.
Notes:
I spotted this at Baden Powell Park. It's not native to the area but there were no cultivated gardens around. It must have traveled quite a distance to get there.
