I saw this picture of some Wisteria in one of our national papers today and I thought of you all...... if you want the whole story this is the link: 100 year old Wisterias Wisteria 1 ( photo / image / picture from Govig's Garden ) Wisteria 2 ( photo / image / picture from Govig's Garden )
Thank you for putting that up Govig. It's really interesting. It must be amazing to see in person -- is it near where you live?
WOW~amazing/stunning/unbelievable~! How I wish my Wisteria would bloom like that! Heck, I would even settle for one bloom. Stupid plant just grows leaves and gets bigger and bigger overtaking everything in its path. *sniff* I wanna Wisteria like the one you posted, Govig.
unfortunately not Daisybeans - if there were no police around (8))it would still be a 3+ hour drive from me. I just noticed the story when flicking through the newspaper.
Well I hope it doesn't take 100 years for my wisteria to produce lots of flowers 'cause I won't be around to see it. What beautiful pictures and I'm so glad you thought of us all and decided to post them for us. For the first time in around five years I actually have one or two buds on one of my wisterias. Maybe next year the other will decide to flower too. :-D
That is absolutely gorgeous! We can't grow that type here as it gets too cold. I have settled with one, "Aunt Dee" which is supposed to grow here but mine has never had a bloom. Thanks for sharing that Govig.
I sometimes get "mad" at my wisteria when they go under the shutters or grab hold of a nearby tree but I think I will be nicer to them from now on -- they do bloom beautifully faithfully every year...
I love it! And I love the fact that the villagers gathered to watch them pruning it. Talk about taking an interest in your local flora.
Absolutely gorgeous Govig, I love wisteria, thanks for posting these lovely photos. Like you, it would take a few hours for me to visit
wow thats an awesome display there.. im still trying to figure out if i have Chinese or Japanese wisteria! guess im gonna have to wait for next years blooms..
I saw on the mid-day news today that there is a mysterious bug attacking wisterias. I hope it does not reach this one
