My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Identifying a weed I actually want to keep

13 years ago

These little "weeds" are growing all around my yard. I don't recognize the foliage, but it grows kind of like a pea plant. It has little vines on the end that wrap around other plants and fencing to climb.

I would like to know what this plant is because the bees here seem to absolutely adore it. They always try to get pollen from the little purple flowers on this plant before any of the other flowers in the back yard (the front yard is a whole different story).

The plant itself is very easy to pull up from any place I don't want it to grow, so it is very manageable.

Thanks for any help!
