I am going on the colour and general shape. There is not enough detail in the photo to be certain. Could you as routine make sure your photos have good detail, and take a sideways photo as well as face on of a flower. Also closeups showing whole leaves and their attachments to the stem. In many cases eg some of the peas a macro showing details of stem hairs is needed as well to make an ID at the species level.

Will do in the future Betty/Don - this was a quick snap on a walk with friends. Will disregard the social pressure to keep up next time and get some more angles :)
