HI, can anyone ID this please? This is the only shot I could get, as it's not mine, it's one I walk past every day.I can't really tell if it's a few small trees or a climber from the roadside (it's a very tall wall!) but I'm suspecting the latter seeing how it's draping over the wall.
It's recently come into flower and the smell is just glorious.
I'm sure it's something terribly obvious and I'm going to feel silly once I know what it is

Wisteria
Oh, right, I've never seen a white one before! Thanks GG - now I DO feel silly
Don't feel silly. Every day is a school day, for all of us.
When you don't even know who's in the team

Thanks Punkdoc
I love it. What a lovely clear , clean white.
Virginal, just like me.
If you say so...
In my last house, which didn't have a garden as such, just a courtyard, we had a beautiful lilac wisteria growing over the front of the house, and across our neighbour's cottage, too. When we moved in, she was very insistent that we correctly pruned 'her wisteria'. She had obviously ignored the fact that it grow up out of the ground on OUR side of the fence. A really evil part of me almost wanted to cut it down just to make the point that it didn't belong to her, the old goat. I didn't, of course (but I would have liked to have seen her face if I did...)
And there I thought your were a sweet wee thing.
I am! Sniff....
You called your poor sweet old lady neighbour a goat and wished death on her half of the wisteria.
You did make me laugh though. 
She was probably afraid you were going to cut off her bit.
