Came up with a temporary 'support' for my mystery Vetch plant

4. We found out about it years ago

About 30 years ago, my mother mentioned to her neighbor, a Master Gardener who breeds Iris, that she was going to dig up a couple clumps of the “pretty purple flowers” she saw growing like crazy in the median outside of town. She thought they would be great as a ground cover on the ugly, barren slope on my parents’ side of the communal gravel driveway. Nothing she had tried from the nursery had survived in that spot.

The neighbor shrieked, “Noooooooooo!” and explained what the plant was.

And that ugly little slope is still barren, to this day.
