Nice banner, Leslie.

Beautiful blooms, and they smell so good, too.

I recycle, reuse, repurpose!

I love, love, love Wisteria. I had a beautiful specimen at our last house and after the blooms faded the leaves offered much needed shade for the carport. That thing grew fast and I had to trim it every so often to keep it from taking over.

I once knew a guy who had it planted in the woods and when it bloomed it looked like a forest of Wisteria.

for the beautiful banner!

Who doesn't love Wisteria! Very attractive banner.

Years ago, we stopped at a rural antique store. They had a patio with the roof covered with a framework of fencing. The wisteria climbed the support poles and spread across the fencing grid. The Wisteria leaves offered shade and the blooms hung down through the fencing. You could sit under it and enjoy the fragrance while watching the bees and hummingbirds. I can't describe how unique it was.

What a great memory that this banner evoked. Thanks much!

I agree totally. It's like a breath of fresh air. Nice!

It grows everywhere around here. It is so pretty when it is hanging from the trees. Definitely invokes spring in the south!

Zone 5

Admirable and Enviable......First it's a soothing, fresh submission to the banner, well done and then I too can imagine a delicate bloom like the wisteria having a most pleasant daydreamy of a smell; and I don't believe I've seen it around in Zone 5, as it sounds like a warmer climate plant. Now you have my curiosity aroused to research a little more about this beauty. 🌝 🌝 🌝 🌝 🌝
