1. Not common around here. Stunning!

   1. Several people have mentioned that wisteria lose their flowers in a freeze, so perhaps that would be a deterrent to growing them.

      1. I think you’re right.

2. Lovely Susan 🙂

   1. Thank you!

3. I love how this photo captures the sense of weight. They seem such a perfect emblem of richness.

   1. These seemed to be holding up traffic directing paddles, for bees.

4. We have both the white and lavender as natives, and they are beautiful. They seemed to arrive more quickly than usual — or at least more quickly than I expected — this year, and before I noticed them, the leaves already were competing with the flowers. But that fragrance! There’s nothing like it. I especially enjoy the sound of multitudes of bumble bees swarming around the flowers.

   1. The fragrance surprised me too – very heady. These were being rummaged by bees of all shapes and sizes. It seems unfair how some flowers are associated with fragrance so much more than others – roses for example, even when so many are not really scented at all.

5. Agreed. Good pic

   1. Thanks, Derrick.

6. Beautiful picture! I didn’t realize how sensitive they are to frost. I’m still contemplating getting one, though.

   1. I hadn’t realised that either. I often see magnolia flowers browned by frost in NW England, or at least some kinds are.
