Wild Sweet Peas

I love wild sweet peas. A lot of people think of them as a pest, but to me they say summer. I love the delicate tendrils that cling to other plants and buildings, covering everything they come in contact with, with a green and purple mound. In the late summer their seed pods open up with a POP!

Just love this image.
One of the other comments is right, it looks as if it has come straight out of an antique book at Kew Library.
Stunning composition.
Well done.
