Nature's Beauty: Wisteria

I have always loved the beautiful things God gave us in nature. There are numerous things that are beautiful if we just take a moment to look at them. I have had an on and off battle with the man here for cutting down some things in the yard or the field or along the fence rows where our property ends. One of the things he has whacked in years past was the wild wisteria. The photo shows one of the trees that it is growing in and winds all the way up the tree. You can tell by the size of the vines that they are old. We have several bushes also planted (they were on the property when we bought it) where the original outhouse stood. Last year he whacked them down. This year I warned him. I think he knew I meant business because he has not cut the yard yet or the field. He said I will have to follow him and show him what he can't mow down. Insert my eyeroll here! Haha! I am hoping that the muscadine vines survived his whack job last year too! It's always a rush to get the ripe fruit before the birds! Do you have wisteria growing in your yard? Photo Credit: My own

I am enjoying it while I can. The rain showers last week blew off a lot of blooms that were scattered all over the yard. It was pretty but means my flowers will be gone soon.

@just4him The rain finished them off. There may be a late bloom here are there somewhere up in the trees but it isn't noticeable or popping out at you with brilliant color. Will have to wait until next year for another shower of purple!

@kareng It's sad they'll soon be gone. Spring is just beginning and already the flowers are dying.

No, I've never tried to grow wisteria but some of our neighbors grew it for years. The entire end of their barn was covered with it. I always thought it was beautiful!

@kareng If I can remember this next spring I'll go back down there and see if they're still there. If so, I'll take a photo and post it for you.

I found one growing by the pond a few years ago. So far that is the only year it has bloomed

It's odd how some years are very vibrant and other years they do nothing. They are pretty this year or at least around here they are!

@wolfgirl569 Mine have about bloomed out. Hoping they will go another round. The rain pretty much cut the blooming time short.

That's too bad! But you have good weather! What's the temp running there now? We are steady in upper 70's and moving on up to 80's this week with a "heat wave."

@JohnRoberts So you got my old weather? Insert big here. Did you see that @wolfgirl569 ?? We have been having temps in 70's and low 80's and fairly gorgeous most days. A heat wave is headed our way for weekend with temps rising to high 80's. Looks like summer may come early. It all goes with what I've been saying: The seasons are shifting!

No wisteria that I know of. I'm glad the man is checking with your before he whacks anything else!

I am hoping we get something done today. He didn't sleep at all last night. Since he is helping out with working some nights with police department, his days are getting mixed up

@LindaOHio I am pulled in to both parts: he is up all night and my mom sleeps all morning. I can go the staying up late but I don't like to sleep all day!

Wow, these are very pretty! Good for you. Thanks for brightening up MyLot a little bit. Often when times are crazy it's hard to slow down and appreciate the little, beautiful things!

I'm glad this brightened up your day! I'll get to look at them most of the day tomorrow as we are working in the yard! The ground is pretty too with petals that the wind has blown off or the rain.
