This is going to sound awful for someone who loves flowers and plants, but until I saw this image, I had heard the name “wisteria” but I didn’t associate it with any particular mental image of what the bloom would look like. Now I know, this is indelible! It reminds me of a bunch of grapes, in terms of the shapes involved.
That is heartbreaking. I had a storm take out a huge garden of six-foot sunflowers a few years ago.
So glad you got that awesome picture. I felt peace just looking at it.
Off Center & Not Even 
Wow, glorious capture, Tim!
Thanks, Leah.
It is gorgeous
Thanks, Lonely.
Beatiful!
Thanks, Inchcock.
You’re lucky to have them outdoors. A wisteria here in Colorado would be finished by the first hard freeze in the fall.
Ours bloom, but then they usually get frozen as we normally get frost through April into May.
A beautiful wisteria, Tim. I sometimes think about planting one here, but I am not sure where I would put it.
Thanks, Lavinia. They are pretty while they last.
it is a superb decorative flower for the walls of houses.
Thanks, Yoshimi.
Beautiful.
Thanks, rabirius.
Such a beautiful photograph of this lovely flower. Even it’s name is ethereal.
That’s true. I hadn’t though of the name as etheral, but really is. Thanks, Holly.
Oh, how beautiful!!!!! [mine is still thinking about it! 😉 ]
Thanks, Marina. Ours didn’t think about blooming for long. Buds one day, fully bloomed the next.
I suppose since I haven’t seen any buds yet, no blooms this year…
Wisteria always held a fascination for me, Tim. There’s just something about it. This one is flat out gorgeous. Hugs on the wing.
Thanks, Teagan. Like Holly mentioned the flower and name are etherial.

Hi Lyn. Wisteria do hang like grapes and does remind one of grapes. Not an awful thought at all.
Beautifully atmospheric. I like wisteria. You often see it trained against cottages over here – it is less common in the wild.
Gorgeous!
Thanks, Julie.
It’s beautiful!
Oooooo so pretty!
Thanks, Nancy.
OOlala! What a beauty! I wish we had Wisteria up here.
In the old days when burning incense was part of my housekeeping, it was always Wisteria.
Hi Resa. It’s so dry here they don’t have a strong scent. But wisteria incense and peppermints would be nice.
Love that song!
I have a parody of it Incense and Pepperments call Brew Pubs and Food Trucks I have never released.
Oh… sounds fun! You should review it, and post it!
Maybe I’ll just sent you a copy.
Sure… whatever! We are distant pals now!
Sent.
Yay!
Absolutely Gorgeous
Stunning…the wisteria and the photography!
Thanks, Jeanne Marie. Sadly we had hard frost last night and it zapped the wisteria.
That is heartbreaking. I had a storm take out a huge garden of six-foot sunflowers a few years ago.
So glad you got that awesome picture. I felt peace just looking at it.
Actually it lasted longer than it normally does before getting zapped. We’ll see if any fruit survives.
That’s good!
stunning colours Tim … our wisteria only ever sports a few flowers
Thanks, Julie.
