. ‘All down the stone steps on either side were periwinkles in full flower, and she could now see what it was that had caught at her the night before and brushed, wet and scented, across her face. It was wisteria. Wisteria and sunshine . . . she remembered the advertisement. Here indeed were both in profusion. The wisteria was tumbling over itself in its excess of life, its prodigality of flowering.’~Elizabeth von Arnim, The Enchanted April. ???? ‘And, it’s that time of year again here…my wisteria is blooming its heart out???? ???? My daughter and grandson have now returned to London but we had such a lovely sunshiny time here. . . inspiringfilm for #aprillove2018 . . . . . #wisteria #wistaria #glycine #janela_poetica #verytandc #instagardeners_feature @botanicaetcetera #springflowers #wisteriahysteria #purple???? #elizabethvonarnim #mygarden #mygardentoday #myfrenchcountryhome #stopandsmelltheflowers #flower_beauties_ #windowsoftheworld #dsfloral #gardenersworld #doorsandwindows_greatshots #thebest_windowsdoors #distractionsandinspirations #cettesemainesurinstagram #hello_france #visitlafrance #inspiredbypetals #littlestoriesofmylife #behomefree #botanicaldreamers #theeverygirl

A miraculous alley in Cihangir, Istanbul with wisteria sinensis river flowing between the buildings. It’s an illustration of man was helped by nature. > Cihangir’de mucizevi bir sokak. Mor Salkımlar binadan binaya akıyor.
