Wisteria is a genus of the pea family (Fabaceae) so it’s no surprise that that these look like, well, peas in a pod – actually, they’re more like beans.
We cut back a huge wisteria and found beautiful, velvety pods hiding among the forest of leaves – most around 25cm long. There was also a lone stem of flowers that had forgotten to bloom in April. (Click image for higher-res).

Aren’t they wonderful! In the spring there’s a huge one at the bottom of Jimena that covers the whole house with it’s gorgeous flowers.
They are, especially in full bloom. The hard work – chopping them back – starts now though.
