Climbing butterfly pea... Best viewed large, if you will.

A native wild flowering vine, also in the legume family. Puts nitrogen back in the soil and is fit for large mammals and birds. It's so delicate but, still grows in dry areas. This one is wilting in the direct sun. Does anyone else see a "sourpuss" face in the top of the blossom? It's endangered in New Jersey. More interesting facts about this plant at these links...

I see your sourpuss face, but I also see a bird head with the wings coming down beneath it to touch their tips. It's beautiful. Lovely capture.
