Vetch or Speedwell?? by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Vetch or Speedwell??

A tiny flower less than 2cm, petals are so delicate and sweet-pea like.

Looking on't interweb and in my book, I think it's a common vetch, or a common speedwell, but if anyone knows for real, let me know and I'll adapt the title.

No wildflowers are posh ( except yesterday's lords and ladies!)
pretty whichever it is

Looks more Speedwell to me. Vetch has a distinct fern like shaped leaf. But happy to be proved wrong.

Oh so pretty & delicate...

Absolutely no idea but I like the shape and colour!

I think Speedwell but certainly I'm no expert, will be interested to hear other views.

vetch has a very distinct double leaf - I've probably got both, so I may take a comparison photo

Beautiful little lavender flowers - whatever they are.

It's a speedwell - but not what I've got, which is thyme-leaved speedwell, the only one with smooth edged leaves. Vetch has smooth-edged leaves - I've weeded all mine out, so can't show you one - in a very distinct pattern, and will have a pea type ie with a hood, flower

You are already ahead of me in narrowing it down to those two choices! Whatever you finally decide it is still beautiful and so is your photo of it!

I will bow to the knowledge of those who have identified them. I think that they are very pretty and delicate. I like the pale purple colour
