Crownvetch

Also called Purple Crownvetch. It’s a member of the pea family and is commonly used throughout Canada and the United States for erosion control, roadside planting and soil rehabilitation. It is not, in fact, purple, but it sure is pretty.

It's gorgeous and your DOF is perfect.

pretty ... I learned a lot reading what you wrote. We have crownvetch around here too, but I didn't know anything about it.

We have lots of common vetch growing here, which is purple! Not so pretty though. Interesting info you've given us, and a nice image.

You might be able to stretch it by calling it a light lilac or lavender, but I agree- it always looks more pink than purple to me. Nice shot.
