Hi wondered if anyone can id this plant please. Grew from mixed unknown species seed packet. I think maybe its a kind of pea. It's climbing up the mahogany tree in the pot but pictures may not be very clear. Hasnt flowered yet just keeps growing.
thanks

I'm sure you're right it's a pea but I don't think I'd be able to ID it before flowers

Could this be a young lobelia? I have pulled out my self-setting saplings so cannot check "at source".
After all, it is in the pea family.
Lobelia is Campanulaceae, I've never seen a lobelia with leaves like that

Aaaah! Laburnum ... I always get a block when 'naming that tree' and have to start at lobelia before arriving at laburnum ....
Nice one Peter. I have a similar problem with numbers. Have to recite the multiplication table to get to the one I want

Now you say that, it does look like a baby laburnum.
i had actually previously posted about the plant before in a different thread

Do laburnums climb up other plants? It seems to have small tendril like growths on the tips
As far as I know, laburnums do not have tendrils, so we go back to the start now, it could be any one of the pea/vetch/clover family
Could it be Trapaeolum speciosum
Should have 5 rounded leaves but maybe too young yet?
