Lovely blooming flowers..... sorry IA I mean -- lovely blooms!!
ReplyDeleteMy Wisteria has taken over my Cherry Blossom tree but no flowers yet.... since planting it some years back!! These plants take its own sweet time to make a show of it!!
The largest Wisteria I have seen was in the Auckland Domain in NZ... the base of its trunk is as thick as my belly & there are several of them &..... not my bellies by the way!!
Wisteria and Hysteria, blossoming blooms and blooming bosoms,
ReplyDeleteplantus magnificus beautifulorum, from Mahendra to Indra and from an ordinary one to a substantial one!

Dear Indra, I don't have the colourful words of Mahendra but I second what he says. I came here hoping there would be some lovely blooms and I wasn't disappointed!

IA,
ReplyDeleteWisteria-Hysteria is one thing,but the other is a great orchid. Have you done an 'orchidectomy' to it ... I mean not to you personally???. Hope not!!!!.
Indra, gorgeous orchids-
ReplyDeleteYou seem to have a wilderness of orchids, and even Wisterias which take ages to flower, flowering out of season for you!-
Wonder what you feed them! Lots of TLC I guess!Lovely to see-
thank you.
The Wisteria blooms in spring, though mine ( three of them ) did not do that well this spring ( fewer blooms than usual) & then this plant decided to turn up with this off season flower. Wisterias can be temperamental, some not flowering for years. But hard to beat when in full bloom.
