The art of the wistful wisteria

An hysteria of wisteria clambers over the wall and along the trellis


 wistfully escaping her winter tendrils

and poised,
she droops over the arbor like a series of delicate oriental lanterns


festooning the way in a blaze of lavender.


Her joy is palpable as a swarm of local bees discover her inner beauty


.... droning in and around her miniature iris-like flowers.


I am in awe of her beauty,
her colour,
her art ....
for the wistful wisteria
never disappoints.

    I love wisteria! We also have it cascading over our house facade. Gorgeous sunny light too. I can almost smell the perfume from autumnal Italy!
