My brother sent me a photo of 'Broom Wisteria'. Does anyone have information about this plant. It has pretty pink flowers and one stem of yellow flowers.

Same here 3d. I do not have another name.
Thank you Andrew. How interesting. My first thought when I saw this was a laburnum and a wisteria growing intertwined but he said it was only on one stem. Very similar leaf to my laburnum. I googled the name you have given and there are some lovely photos of this growing as a small tree. They seem to have equal amounts of pink and yellow flowers. It is hard to appreciate what gardeners get up to and why.

Yes it is 3d. I did not know you could graft unrelated plants. We are lucky to have members like Andrew, Bamboo and Seaburngirl and others who really have a much wider knowledge of plants and who are keen to share that with us.
