Wisteria

[neverspent]

This afternoon, driving home, I smelled it: sweet, floral. I always smell the wisteria before I see it. Later, walking in a tiny pine wood area, I could smell it again, but tracking the wind, I still couldn't find the blossoms. Finally, I saw the spiral-twisted vines hanging from the pines and looked up. There they were, high in the trees hanging like a bunch of grapes.

One of the most beautiful invasives out, uh, up there.

Thanks for sharing the images in this space.

It certainly is invasive, isn't it? I've seen it take over whole woods and pull down large trees. But at least it looks and smells lovely, I suppose. :)

Thank you for commenting!

What lovely photos, I especially admire the gentle colors and composition of each.

Thank you very much! It's nice when there are such lovely things around to point my camera at. :)

Where are its roots?

They're in the ground--I wasn't being very observant when I was walking around, at first! The vines leading up to the blossoms are everywhere, and they really don't look like any other vines -- honeysuckle, grapevine, poison ivy.
