wisteria wave


This is the largest display of wisteria that I know of in Amboise.  To me it looks like a wave of purple crashing over the sea wall.





Daily disclaimer: I'm currently on a road trip and while I can queue up my daily posts, I can't queue up my responses to your (most appreciated) comments nor to my CDP blogger friends' blogs.  I'll try to respond when possible of course.

  1. It's stunning. Unfortunately they are all finished. My gardening diary says they lasted until mid-May last year!

    1. Thanks. I love these things. It's too bad they're gone for the year. (Not the metaphors.)

    1. I think I'm hearing the voice of experience here ! It's not so much of a problem here as they usually grow on stone walls.

    1. and your title reminds me of an aunt who once referred to a 'wave of wisteria' when she meant 'wave of wistfulness'. no-one let her forget and it became a phrase of family lore!
