Help identifying an unusual climber!?!

[Neptune]

Hello all,

I just wanted to see if anyone could help me identify a plant in my garden.

I live in Norfolk and in August 2020 I took away some turf that had been there for approximately 6 years. I got a wildflower seed mix and sowed these in September 2020. The wildflower seed mix contained the following;

1. Bedstraw, Lady's
2. Black Medick
3. Burnet, Salad
4. Buttercup, Meadow
5. Campion, Red
6. Campion, White
7. Carrot, Wild
8. Catchfly, Night-Flowering
9. Chamomile, Corn
10. Clary, Wild
11. Corn Cockle
12. Cornflower
13. Cowslip
14. Daisey, Ox-eye
15. Forget-me-not, Field
16. Foxglove, Wild
17. Goatsbeard
18. Knapweed, Common
19. Knapweed, Greater
20. Marigold, Corn
21. Musk Mallow
22. Poppy, Common
23. Self-heal
24. Sorrel, Common
25. St John's-wort, Common
26. Yarrow
27. Yellow Rattle

Everything is now growing nicely. It's mainly Ox-eye Daisey at the moment with Cornflower and Corn Cockle starting to come out. However, I have noticed an unusual climber that has wrapped itself around some of the plants (see pictures). There's only two in a patch of wildflowers that it approximately 40ft by 5ft. So, I don't think it's one of the plants that was in the wildflower seed mix that I brought. I've also noticed that it has extremely small white flowers on it.

I would be grateful for any idea as to what it is?

Regards,

Matt

Good mix there Doing a wildflower meadow here but up against drought, partridges and rabbits so not much came up.

Your pic looks like one of the vetches

Agree with @zigs - possibly wood bitter vetch

Ta @Mrsclem Can't find my book at the moment

Same thought as Zigs. Alternate leaves and the tendrils. Problem, the flower. Vetch flowers are pea shape.

Think the flower is a feverfew in the background Mike, looks like a peaflower against Matt's finger

Hi, thanks everyone. Having googled 'vetches' it's clearly one of those. My main concern was 'is it going to be an issue with my wildflowers and should I start pulling it up' but it doesn't appear to be the case. It's just another piece of variety as far as I'm concerned

Hi, thanks for the ID.

Fortunately, there is a lot of variety in the wildflower bed. It's just a case that everything appears to be quite late and the main flowers we have at the minute are Forget-me-nots (first to flower), Ox-eye Daisey, Corn flower, our first Corn Cockle very recently, yellow rattle, and buttercup.

I don't know about you but there's been a distinct lack of bees this year. Usually we trip over them but they've been really difficult to spot. That said, I have, just in the last week, started to see a slight increase (and in my wildflower bed which makes it all worth it).

All the best,

Matt
