Wisteria. Flight of the Bumblebee.

Wisteria in full bloom is swarmed by bumblebees. It had been a sad little bush until we replanted it a few years ago. Against a south-facing wall it shot up right to the roof.

Lichens are mysterious creatures. They are classified as both mushrooms (fungus) and plants (algae). But what if they are animals as well?
