What is this flower?

We live in the woods in Southern MO and this is growing wild on the edge of our yard at the woods edge.

    Is this Bleeding Heart? Sweet Pea, Locust or a gorgeous weed?

    I appreciate everyone's comments but Hamtil, you steered me in the right direction. Thank You! It is a Acacia Rose also known as a Bristly Locust. I love it, a welcome surprise on the edge of the woods!!!

    My pleasure Dalyce! I use their help line frequently. Usually to find out what bugs are eating my vegetable garden! :(

    definitely not a bleeding heart. I does look like sweet pea though.

    I vote for sweet pea vines. Looks like those climbing my fence line.

    What a nice find. Although native to the southeastern United States, it apparently is considered invasive in Michigan, New Jersey, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Washington.
