My Wisteria In Bloom

Wisteria is a beautiful vine with gorgeous flowers.
I have grown mine for over 25 years.
Although it is a lot of work training it, it is worth it!
Mine encases our 50 foot arbor and as
you see is loved by insects and birds.

I have trained the vine to twist so that it would
be strong enough to climb to the top of our arbor.

Since the vines are on top of the arbor, when
it flowers they hang down and are huge.

I planted pink and blue wisteria but for some
reason this year the blue wisteria didn’t bloom.
If you click HERE you can see the post I made
of the best season I have ever had. The wisteria
was loaded with both colors of gigantic wisteria.

Thank you my biggest fear is when the arbor collapses. The wood was treated lumber when we built the arbor but someday it will give out.
Don’t we all eventually give out, Diane! 😂 You’ll have lots of time to enjoy it, I am sure. 👍
Hanging wisteria flowers looks so beautiful !! 💕
Thank you so much!
Wow
Enchanting!
It is many years in the making but well said…enchanting! Thank you!
It’s beautiful❤️
Thanks again and have a great Sunday!
It’s beautiful ❤️
Thank you Sandy!
Wow! Amazing!!!!
It is isn’t it. I am so happy to be able to share the pictures on my blog as not too many people ever get to see it. Thank you Alessia!
It is isn’t it.??? Why?? It is gorgeous flowers!! And your shots are very beautiful!!
You are always so kind, thank you!
Lovely hanging flowers Diane. Your hard work is blooming so beautifully.
Thank you so much Deeksha!
absolutely beautiful!
Thanks so much!

I tried to visit your site but it says it is unavailable.
that is so very weird, I am so sorry about this. WP acts weird all the time, it seems to be one thing or another. maybe if you typed in simplychronicallyill.com it should take you to my site. again, I am very sorry but I sure do appreciate you trying.
I will do that, thank you!!
thank you! 🙂
Gorgeous! I think ours managed a mere dozen blooms this year, unfortunately.
They are so temperamental! This is the first year I didn’t get any blue flowers.
Nevertheless, it’s a wonderful arbour!!
Thank you!
Gorgeous! Are they fragrant?
They are suppose to be but I haven’t really been able to smell them. It is always windy here as we have open fields and this arbor is 8 feet tall. Most of the vine is another 3-4 feet above that so maybe that’s why I don’t smell them. Thank you!
romantic place❤️
Yes it is and everyone that walks under it talks about getting married there. Nobody has yet…lol
Stunning, Diane!
Thank you Jacquie!
Such loveliness! And I enjoyed seeing your post when it bloomed both colors! I bet it’s nice sitting underneath it when it’s blooming.
Yes but I love walking under it the best. It is 50 feet long and 8 feet tall so it is like a tunnel. The birds just love making a nest in the twisted vines. Thank you Nancy!
Spectacular! So pretty!
Thanks Pam!
I absolutely love wisteria! So beautiful; I wish we had planted some!
I have no regrets but it is a LOT of work. I have it hidden in my backyard so nobody gets to see it which is why I love posting about it on my blog. I can share it there…Lol
A little secret garden! I love that idea 😉.
Thanks!
So splendid, dear Diane – this is an idea of paradise ! 🙂 amitiés ! and congratulations
Thank you I wish the blooms lasted longer!
Pretty.
Thank you!
Diane, beautiful wisteria! 🙂
Greetings
Thank you Ultra!
That is so beautiful! And nice shot with the bumblebee.
Yes that little creep wouldn’t sit still, I was chasing him all around…lol Thank you!
Such beautiful trees! I love wisteria and these are gorgeous.
Thank you Catherine they are a labor of love.
So beautiful!
Thank you so much!
Beautiful!
Thank you.💗
Beautiful!
Thanks so much!
Gorgeous!
Thank you! 💕
I haven’t seen a bumble be since I was in Ohio in 2008.
That’s where I live. Lol
How pretty! And they smell so wonderful. I planted a wisteria at my old house in Germany and then in Maine. Now we moved into a condo, and I‘m hoping to convince the other owners that a wisteria climbing up the rain pipe would be a great addition.
Once you enjoy them they are hard to live without! Good luck with the neighbors!
Beautiful!
Thank you Christy!
Wowzers!! They are stunning!!
Thank you I have a lot of blood sweat and tears in this arbor.
Oh I love the beauty and serenity of this post – it is just what was needed!! What a year we are living through, Diane!! On your wisteria – we have had some in here at the farm at Eden and it has only flowered the last couple of years as it was munched on multiple times by wallabies and wombats. The pruning of it is always such a worry to me, so it’s good to see the way yours is growing. I hope things are ok where you are, Diane, and I send love and positivity not only to you in the USA but also here so that we can change the significant structural racial issues we have with our indigenous folk and the police … anyway thinking of you and wishing you some joy over this summer.

Thank you so much Donna! I agree with you 100%. What has this world come to? I can’t imagine doing all the work it takes with my wisteria only to have it eaten! That must be awful for you. I am so glad I trained it to the top of the arbor because it does whatever it wants to up there. I just have the constant battle of all the new shoots down below. Take care Donna and stay safe! 🧡
So beautiful
Thank you so much!
How gorgeous.
Thanks Barb!
This is so beautiful.
So beautiful.
Thank you Moushmi!
Lovely! What a beautiful display!
Thank you nature gets all the credit for these beauties!!!
I love wisteria and your garden is gorgeous.
Thank you so much!!!
This is really a beauty and it shows every hour you put into it. Well worth the effort though. Enjoy it! And thank you for the picture.
You’re welcome! I even turned 2 vines into trees. They were gorgeous but unfortunately still a vine. The trunks ended up about 8-10 inches in diameter but being a vine kept falling over. We put huge heavy poles in the ground and wrapped a heavy chain around the poles and vines for support. It was gorgeous but we get a lot of wind and one day they just fell over. It was exhausting trying to keep them upright so we cut them down. Having the vines climb the arbor is so much easier!
Such a beauty , love the flowers and the beautifully manicured garden !
Thank you we spend most all of our time working in the yard. I love being out there and listening to the birds.
Yes It’s a wonderful feeling to be in nature gives so much peace.
Oh wow! So beautiful! And what a beautiful garden!
Thank you so much!!! 🌸🌺💐
They look amazing, Diane!
Thank you they are my pride and joy. A lot of work but worth it in the end.
You’re very welcome!
I love wisteria 💕 yours looks beautiful ✨
Diane – Just gorgeous. I remember your last post about the Wisteria and I told you of the man on the corner, double lot with his Wisteria and after he retired, it seemed every time we ever passed by the house, he was working on it. It was only ¼ or 1/3 the size of yours – yours is just beautiful. I am sad when I pass by there now. He is long gone and the family who bought the house, never did anything to keep it up – all that is there is the special fenced area he had trained it to grow along.
Yes I remember that but it takes complete devotion to keep them maintained. If you don’t prune constantly they get so bad it is easier to cut them down and start over.
Yes, you have your work cut out for you for sure Diane. Mr. Shrock was out there constantly. They were in the backyard and since it was a corner house, people stopped by to look at them all the time when they were in bloom.
Gorgeous! We all can appreciate nature more after succumbing to the unknown forces of a pandemic! Aww-hhh to fresh air and blooming flowers. 🌺💕🌺
Thank you and I agree!!!!!
Beautiful.
Thank you they have been quite the learning experience over the years.
It is beautiful. You did an amazing job of training it!.
Thank you it is constantly needing pruning.
Wow ! That’s quite something ! Looks beautiful
Thank you!!!
Blossom everywhere!! What a delight! 😀
It really is a delight and the blossoms are huge! Thank you Debby!
Mother Nature does a beautiful job of bringing color into our world.
Thanks for posting this photo!
Yes it she sure does! Thank you Mary!
