I love wisteria and have always fancied having a plant climbing my walls, but I've got laburnam instead. Instead of purple rain I have yellow rain!!!!

People make the mistake of planting both together, and also lilac and laburnum. They think purple and yellow work well together but they don't.
They really don't!
Have a dispassionate look next time you see the two in close proximity. You might see what I mean!

I have one more thing to say;
the exception I make of course
is the sight to see in May
of Cornish heather and gorse!

Lovely image that evokes both the perfume and the taste of spring in my childhood and adolescence.

It reminds Me of two fronzutissime Wisterias: one in the garden of my house and the other in the courtyard of my High school. From both I used to pick the flowers and eat the sweet pistils, both with my friends at home and my classmates during the break... We were crazy about them :-)
We preferred Them to the healthy homemade snacks of fruit or sandwiches ...
It is said that the flowers of Wisteria are poisonous: BUt, I am still here to remember while admiring your image where , caught in a'dull day',the beauty of this plant seems to get more evocative charm .
Thank you Andy!

Thank you Bea!
You have reminded me that I and my childhood friends give the lie to the 'fact' that ALL parts of the yew tree are deadly poisonous.
Weeeeelllll ..... WE used to eat the delicious red fruit! We knew not to eat the pip and so that was always spat out. I never heard of a fatal accident because of a silly mistake!
