The wisteria’s relationship with the jacaranda is ferocious. At this point in time, twenty years in the making, the wisteria’s grip on its support, to the human eye, looks muscular! First thin and lanky the treads of the wisteria snake up, circle around, the limbs of its host, towards the light. Equally addicted to the sun and soil, rooted in the earth, dancing in the air the wisteria has slowly and steadily reached the tips of the jacaranda and begun to shade it. When an old jacaranda branch breaks and falls, roped by the wisteria it is caught and hangs. I don’t know how long this relationship will last…
