Monster Tendril Legume

[Rhodie Ranch]

I took a pic about two weeks ago of a legume growing amoungst my flowers in the front. At first I thought it was an errant sweet pea or a regular pea. NOPE> its tendrils are huge, overtaking, monstrous, kinda like that movie "The blob" that was so scary back in the day. I'll go take another pic of it now, but I wanted to start this thread. In this pic, the tendrils are about 6 - 7" long and the plant is about 6" tall. The tendrils ONLY extend from left and right...in a straight line. Its really quite amazingly scary!!

Here is its brother/sister about 4 ft away. For scale, that is 3/4" bark nugget base.

Have you opened those pods to wee what the seed looks like? Sure looks like some kind of green pea to me.

Are the tendrils wrapping around anything? I was worried for your toe in that one pic.

I think it's very pea-ish too. Last year I grew a pea that was noted for it abundant edible tendrils. The vine was crazy with tendrils! I should see if I can find the name...

Freshly painted summer toes was for scale only. No worries about snatching my foot....

(unless it comes in the front door, inching across the great room like fog (or blob) and grabs me off of my computer table....)

i have green peas like that. they are an all around good pea, pods, shellies and dry. i plant them in a block and they look like a big fuzzball from all of the tendrils.

usually they get about 2-3ft high before the heat gets to them and they give up.

there are more tendrils than leaves.
