Thank ya'll for the ID help...Narrowed it down to Vigna Luteola! In the 4th pic I think those are little pea pods right below the flower. I'll try to go back where I spotted these (was still flooded there earlier this week) and see if any pea pods have developed.
Possible following Genus Vigna Rhynchosia Smithia Crotalaria Aeschynomene
Typical Fabaceae family flower.
