Wisteria Blooms In Northern Israel

Wisteria-in-bloom-close-upDuring the Passover holiday my daughter was itching to just get outside, so I sent her down the street to the garden I designed a few years back, with the mission of photographing the glorious wisteria in bloom! Wisteria blooms before there are any leaves on the vine, so it is truly spectacular, the only downside being that it just doesn’t last long enough! This year the usual tour groups that gather in this location will most certainly not be coming, so this may be my chance to start the wisteria filled pergola for creating a shaded area with vines! I have seen this before, and it actually works really well, just not sure how long it takes! So with businesses now opening up again in Israel, I think we need to order some wisteria vines ASAP, note to self. How they’ll be actually be supported is actually secondary to getting the vines in the ground now that Spring is here! Enjoy these photos and consider giving wisteria a try, if your winters are cold enough that is!

Wisteria-in-bloom-close-upWow, so delicate and gorgeous, just like that famous Tiffany stained glass window!

    I absolutely LOVE wisteria. I planted some 2 summers ago and got a few blooms last year but hoping the 3rd year is a charm now that it’s established it’s roots and acclimated to our weather. Gorgeous photos!

    I’ve never really paid much attention to Wisteria’s before this year, but man are they gorgeous! I just love how they cascade down. Beautiful photos!
