For the past couple of weeks I have been on the lookout for wisteria flowers being in bloom. I couldn’t remember exactly when they would start blooming. Today I noticed a lot of wisterias in bloom – it seems as if one day there was no sign of them, and now suddenly they look like they are in full bloom! When I was a kid, I don’t think that I noticed wisterias at all – but then again if it was not in my own back yard, I just didn’t notice it! Most of my adult life was spent in New England, and to be perfectly honest I don’t remember seeing any of them up there, either. But ever since we moved here, I am constantly aware of all of the beautiful bright blooming flowers, and I have to say that the wisteria flowers have a feeling of romance that no other blossom can compete with.
Just now I was realizing that as much as I’ve been admiring the blossoms, I don’t think I have ever smelled the fragrance of a wisteria. I’m going to have to rectify that soon! I hope that they smell yummy!
