A stunning 100-year-old wisteria on a house in Dorset is attracting visitors from all over Britain. Alison Halliday is celebrating a bumper crop of the flower covering her home in the village of Uploders, near Bridport. Experts think that foot long blossoms may be the biggest in the country. The climbing plant is of such importance to the village as a whole that locals often gather when Alison prunes it - to ensure the job is done correctly. Alison and her husband John run their four bedroom cottage, which they have owned for 10 years, as a bed and breakfast. They have people come from all over the country to admire their wisteria. The couple are signed up to the National Garden Scheme, and will open their land for the public to visit on May 23. |
