Amaryllis on Aug 15, 2013It looks like Dolichos lablab aka hyacinth bean vine. The flowers are fragrant and the peas are edible although they have to cook longer than say pintos or great northern. In Texas they are frequently used as a forage crop for deer. We even had them growing on the roof of our plant shop in Ft. Worth, Texas. They will re-seed, I think, but I don't find them invasive.Helpful Reply
