I'm posting this because I had just taken a certain photo before I read this from Cindy's Fractured Fairy Tale ...pertaining to Wisteria she wrote,
We have two Wisteria planted in our yard; they are Memorial plantings the one seen in the background sort of left of center is for my Mother in love, the one front and center pictured here is for my Mom.
The front Wisteria got a brutal pruning mid to late winter. (no names)
This is the display I’m getting this year. It sort of looks naked, I know!
There are a few flowers. Enough so that She can enjoy doing this…
And I can laugh and laugh at her. Just before she stuffed her face into this bloom…she said, ‘Take my picture Oma, pleEEEase.’ and then buried her face right in there. (I guess everyone does do that!)
Making it blog worthy and MEMORABLE!
It must be the weather…because this is last years (2011) Wisteria LOADED with flowers…and the tree behind it is almost bare of leaves. Looking at this years—it is the opposite. You can see that the date is about the same,too.
There is just no telling…

I just walk right out into the parking lot at work
and go straight to the fence where it is dripping in purple and violet
and i bury my face in the soft scented flowers....
doesn't everyone do that?

Maybe next year it will come back in full florish!
I had witeria over a porch of mine once-it attrated the wasp so badly I could never sit on it!!
Love the purple, so pretty! Thanks so much for stopping by, I'll be posting more pictures of my kitchen tonight...the counters are in!
I'm your newest follower on Linky!
I love wisteria!! The smell takes me back to my childhood!
we have never been able to make the wisteria blooming on our trips South, we always go to late or too early! I am so jealous!! I do have a wisteria vine piece that I use as a curtain rod though, that is as good as it gets. I have been blessed with big wiffs of magnolias and camellias and ocean and fish markets. mmmmmm
What a beautiful tree. Too
bad you can't keep the blooms
all year long...
Very nice indeed
Sandy
For me, it's the lilacs that I want to bury my head in when I head out the door. Love wisteria, too, though. Terrific pictures! Thanks for sharing.
I love the way they smell!
The weather has done crazy things this year. Your wisteria is gorgeous!!

I don't know how anyone could keep themselves from burying their noses in those blossoms--how beautiful! I'm sure it smells wonderful. :)
I planted a lilac a few years ago. We are anxiously waiting for it to bloom for the first time.
I love Wisteria. Beautiful. We don't have any at our house, but I want some. My grandmother had it, but never liked it. It can take over and spread.
Beautiful tree and yes, there is nothing like burying your nose in them. I am patiently waiting for my Hydrangea to take off like it usually does, but it is moving slowly. I agree, the weather is too blame. It's so darn nice out the plants don't want to work! Ann
Your wisteria is looking so beautiful, maybe it will come back next year with a flourish:)Thanks for letting us enjoy these gorgeous purple blooms...and for visiting me. Have a great weekend!Hugs,Poppy
