Simply gorgeous, I love wisteria.
I don't see much of it round this way, but perhaps you do where you live.
The weather conditions apparently were just right this year in Whitham, Essex, England this year for Judy Wilson and her longest Wisteria Vine measuring 240 feet long.
So lovely!
Do you have any wisteria?
Spring has definitely sprung, round my way too..the birds, the views, the flowers, the trees, and so on
Wisteria flowers come in white, pink, purple, and blue, including shades like lavender-blue and deep violet. They grow in long, fragrant clusters called racemes. Some notable cultivars and their colors are 'Alba' (white), 'Kuchi-Beni' and 'Rosea' (both pale pink), 'Lawrence' (pale blue), and 'Royal Purple' (deep violet).

We had wisteria growing on the coop my ex built for the doves. We had them at the back of the house. It was so nice to hear them cooing at night when we went to bed. The wisteria was lovely but only last a while.

@RebeccasFarm .......It was sure nice until the neighbor lady started bugging us about it. The birds bothered her. She was so weird. How could doves cooing bother someone?

@RebeccasFarm My sister had a lovely one at her previous house. I'm thinking it might be nice on my front fence. Here is my sister's.

There's a house about 3 to 4 miles outside of town that has a fence covered with purple wisteria and climbing a tree in their yard. I've always thought it was lovely. We used to pass that house on the bus ride home from school.

That is lovely the way they are attached to the brick wall!
I do have wisteria and it is pretty old according to the thickness of the vines. I try to keep the hubby from cutting it all down. He says it is smothering the trees. I say, it's as old as the tree or older so leave it alone!!
Photo is just a small plant. It is planted all around the old "outhouse" location.
! My dad made a wisteria into a bonsai - he was waiting for it to one day bloom, but he passed away and never saw it. You will never believe this year, earlier in the year, it DID bloom. I'll have to find the pic and show you!

Absolutely gorgeous! If there is one thing that I want to experience, that is to be able to travel in different countries and see the views which I can only see in photos. Thank you for sharing this lovely photo.
