How lovely that flower is. Is it scented?

It's an Australian native plant Sue. It is one of the earliest wild flowers to come out, but it really doesn't have a perfume, although the bees love it. It's a vigorous climber and the tamed garden variety is marketed under the name 'Happy Wanderer'.

It looks like my everlasting sweet pea. Is it the same family?

Hi Maggie. I think that they are both legumes, so are related in that sense. The Hardenbergia flowers are tiny though, and I suspect your everlasting sweetpeas are a lot bigger.
