Wisteria don't just have flowers. I adore their seedpods too. Don't you?
Reminds me a little of a waterslide.
Can't you imagine the ants in the rain!
curling around
you release your seed
smooth and spent
swinging in the wind
you hang, a bauble
a perfect spiral
I love wisteria flowers but that is the first time I've seen their pods-yessss, ant waterslides sounds a very sweet idea!!!x
ReplyDeleteAn ant playground, or have they just been wrung out to dry? Either way, a magical photo :-)
ReplyDeleteThe ants would be lined up for such a fun spiral slippy slide! Gorgeous contrasting picture...it's hard to realise it's related to such delicate flowers. D&M xxxx
ReplyDeletei know this from my sweet pea plant - in the autumn they pop with a knistering sound, the seeds fly around und the seedpod is beautiful curled...
ReplyDeletegorgeous photo!!!!
xxxxx
Ooh what a sight! I looove "knistering"!
DeleteYou have absolutely no idea how much I love wisteria and swirly things in general. Xxxooo
ReplyDeleteVery much so, save for if you accidentally step on the (often very) pointy end points (did that a few times as a barefooted youngster).
ReplyDeleteBig hugs & happy wishes for the coming week,
