They grow as robust woody vines, but wisterias are related to peas.
The flowers are showier and more fragrant, but somewhat like pea flowers. Later in the year the seeds will be in pods.
This fine mature wisteria is growing across the front of the Mermaid on the Bridgnorth Road.
It was a damp morning, so I didn’t hang around to see what happened next. These snails on the top of a wet wall could have been getting ready to get amorous, or facing up to a fight over territory.

This bedraggled mushroom was growing at the foot of one of the roadside trees not far from West Park.

Don’t rhubarb flowers look exotic?
