Wonderful Wisteria

My better half's Wisteria and the first time is has flowered!
A little history. The Wisteria is a Chinese plant and was brought back to the UK in 1816 after an expedition gathering plants for Kew Gardens this expedition was funded but Fullers Brewery Chiswick (of London Pride fame). Of the two plants returned from China the one at Kew Gardens died but the other planted at Fullers Brewery thrives to this day and having toured the brewery many times it is thriving and glorious when in full bloom, see Extra.
