My favorite plant.
We have some wisteria growing on some posts and on the side of the shed and it is the best smelling thing we have in our yard.

I wish we had this much growing.

1. Wisteria is spectacular.....I wish it had a longer season.
I have seen Wisteria vines trained to look like trees with all the flowers hanging down.

like this.

2. Mr. sazemisery loves wisteria
Edited on Thu Jul-03-08 03:34 PM by sazemisery
We have one that is over 20 years old. I trained it as a tree when it was young but alas, it grew beyond that years ago. It covers all of the corner of our rail fence. A young sapling made the mistake of sprouting and growing right up the middle of the wisteria mass and the wisteria has overtaken it and bent it to the ground. I don't get too near this plant as I am afraid it will reach out and grab me with its green tentacles. :silly:

3. Wisteria is beautiful.
We used to have some when I lived in Houston as a teenager.
