    To give you an idea about how big this is there is a two story house behind it. ( photo / image / picture from Donna S's Garden )

    I think they are so pretty... but they are so invasive around here I have been forbidden from planting any. :'(

    Breathtaking, Donna.

    I planted a Wisteria last year...I am hoping that it survived the winter. I do not think that it will ever look that magestic in my lifetime though.

    Impressive pic.

    8 story wisteria

    That's an incredible wisteria, trained up the side of that building. Do you know the person who planted it, or who maintains it?
