Version 2, based on suggestion from a friend. I think they look like they are on a platter.

Magnificent natural backlighting. I just had to snap the photo. I love the colors. I did sketching of outlines and grayed out the background a bit.

Created in Photoshop. NIKON D610, f-stop 4.6, exposure time 1/4000 sec. ISO 3200, lens 105mm f/2.8 400mm, and max aperture 5.

To bring out the pods I separated them from the background, blurred and lightened the background and outlined the Wisteria Pods. This turns a photo into art.

Created in Photoshop. NIKON D610, f-stop 1/6.3, exposure time 1/200 sec., ISO·2200, focal length 135mm, and max aperture 4.6.
