1. Life is good
Where do you live. I don't think they will grow here with the cold winters.
Thanks for the photo

10. Charles is turning me gay
It's probably a part of that gay agenda deal.

3. Nice shot!
Not familiar with them. Are they fragrant?

9. My dear bluesbassman!
They are VERY fragrant!

To the point that, if you drive by with your windows down, that's enough to smell them..

A wonderful fragrance!

:hi:

11. wow
Hi,
Thanks for posting this, that is really cool. I don't think those grow here, too cold in the winter. That is really nifty with the vines growing around the gazebo supports.

Peace

20. It grows in NYC
I don't know whether your winters are much colder than ours.
Do you have lilacs? Lilacs are a good substitute for the beauty and fragrance of wisteria, IMHO.

15. I'm bullish on Wisteria. It's going places.
My yard has been covered (front, sides, and back) for the last 2 weeks. They are beautiful, but they'll come get you. I actually saw Wisteria vines grow around the driver's side mirror on my car overnight. It was wrapped around the base of the mirror 3 times. I joked that it must be part narcissus and want to look at itself. :D

21. Gorgeous!
And the tree isn't bad either. ;)

My husband hadn't seen a wisteria before last year. We drove by one and asked in amazement what it was. It really is a beautiful plant.

:hi:
