This plant was identified as tufted or arched vetch a week or so ago, it has now developed white on the flowers - does this have another name - I have never seen one with white
before. Thanks

Thank you for your suggestions
@Silver surfer
. I am getting the name Tufted Vetch - Vicia Crecca too - I will see if any other names come up.
