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?

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

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

@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!
