Wisteria

Spectacular!

Stunning!

Just love it, go out Amy and soak up the scent!!

Thanks all , Chris this is growing over our front porch its about 20ft long we have a set of table and chairs underneath a perfect place to sit and smell the scent its lovely until the flowers start to drop and then we are covered in petals :o)

The mess afterwards is the downside isn't it.

it is Keith and when its wet a nightmare the petals stick to everything :o(

I have just bought one of these. The bees adore it! it's still in it's pot and I'm not sure if I should plant it outdoors. It is a Chinese W...rather than a Japanese W. this designation applies as well to the direction in which it twines!... I thought that was a neat piece of lore. My niece has one on her patio in Italy. when the seeds ripen they pop out of their husks with force. My sister had some of the seed pods on her coffee table... they were exploding with such force that they were bouncing off the ceiling!

Thats funny Lori ,we don't ever have enough seed pods ripen to go so mad as that !! ours survives very well in the ground with our winter conditions but I wouldn't know about your long winters it need to be checked up on I'd hate you to lose it ...

Both of ours have looked wonderful this year, it must be the year for Wisteria...we sit under ours for the perfume...

fantastic , Amy :-)

The smell of ours changes a little when in an enclosed space. I brought the plant indoors when overnight temps were low...and my hub started casting suspicious glances at Rufus! LOL Our night time temps are still in the single digits C.
