My Treasured Wisteria
I love our 50 feet of gigantic purple and pink Wisteria flowers that encase the arbor that my husband and I built over 25 years ago. They are still not fully open, however, it is supposed to rain today and I was afraid I wouldn’t be able to share their beauty. I apologize for sharing these gorgeous beauties every year but they are just too stunning not to share. Weather permitting, they only last about a week.
If you look all the way to the end of our arbor, you can see that the flowers go the full length. The flowers have just started opening so weather permitting, they will get even more beautiful.
Our arbor is tall enough to walk under. If you would like to see my post of the Wisteria in full bloom from a few years ago click HERE.

One of my favorite memories…our family home when I was a kid…in the heart of a factory neighborhood. When we moved in, the first thing my mom started was wisteria along the fence that divided fron and back yards.

I bet that was beautiful. Years ago I trained a pink vine and a purple vine into wisteria trees. When they bloomed they were stunning with people stopping on the road to look at them. Keeping them upright got to be too much even though the trunk was a good foot around. We pounded huge poles in the ground with heavy chains to keep everything upright. A vine is a vine and with nothing to attach to like the fence or arbor, they won’t stay upright. We remove both of them and we still get runners growing in the grass.

I hope yours grows to be just as beautiful as these are. The flowers don’t last long but the twisting of the vines and the way the vines completely encased the arbor makes it beautiful all year long. Thank you Kevin. ❤️

It is fun to stand or sit by them because the bee activity is amazing. The arbor is so tall and full of vines that have turned to wood that the birds love to make nests in it. We get yelled at by them when we walk through the arbor. Thank you!

Beautiful! This is my first year reading your blog so I have not seen any of these pictures before. I also clicked on your link from a few years ago. You have my admiration for sticking to this and training the vines. Especially when they only flower for a week or so! Truly beautiful and thanks for sharing. We all don’t spend ALL our time in the kitchen, huh???

Thank you Mitzy. There have been a few years I didn’t get any flowers and I was so disappointed. It’s funny because I don’t fertilize them all I do is keep them pruned so we can walk under them, except when the flowers are there. Most of the flowers are about 18” or more long. Lol

Lovely Diane, it really is beautiful in this perfect setting on an arbor. These are my husband’s favorite flowers, but one must be careful. The previous owners of my Victorian house planted these around the porch, and it is at the absolute northern most where it should live. In our climate, 30 years ago it wasn’t a problem, and didn’t set a lot of flowers. But with climate change and everything warming, it has been a battle to keep this plant from eating our house! We actually dug it all out about 10 years ago, but obviously did not get it all, and it is back, creeping between the porch floor boards. Ugh.

Oh I know, I turned each color into trees but had trouble keeping them upright after about 10 years because they got so heavy. Dug them out and they are coming up all over the grass. They are as bad as the hummingbird vines!

It deserves to be posted every year–so gorgeous! You were smart to take pictures when you could. My new-to-us house has a beautiful blooming tree with pink blossoms. I put off taking pictures until it had more fully opened blossoms. The wind snatched them away! I’ll be ready next year!
