Just feet from my door is the arbour we built...and the white wisteria that takes my breath away every year :-) The white variety also has an amazing fragrance that floats into the house in the evenings. Here is what it looks like outside the door at the entrance to the garden...
and here is my take on it..from below. This was my favourite of the day
The clusters continue to grow so long...up to almost two feet before they die off. You have to dip your head to go under them !
Interesting Photos Sue but they seem full of smelly things, and I am forbidden from commenting. LOL

Sue, this is beautiful! What a wonderful place to sit and have coffee or read or visit with friends. I wish fragrance could be attached to photos. How long do the Wisteria last?
Its nice that you included such a large photo since it really gives a chance to look around!

Absolutely BEAUTIFUL- I love your garden!

Your yard looks to be an oasis of peace and beauty. And the wisteria is just amazing. I hope you won't mind waking up one morning and finding 50 or so photowalkers there taking photos!

I should have said too, that I love the way you photographed the arbour from the garden entrance and framed the photo with the hanging wisteria. It looks so inviting!

Very beautiful photos Sue!

Can I move in with you...that looks like paradise!

You framed this so well, what a lovely and inviting scene. I've joked before about how swell a scratch and sniff blog widget would be.

What awesome shots of such a gorgeous garden! You must be so proud! It has been such a long time since I have seen a white wisteria. I can almost smell them from here. Gorgeous work.

What a wonderful garden you have and such a beautiful frame the lovely wisteria made. I wish I could have one of those but its to cold in winter...

So beautiful. I love the texture of the bricks of the patio. The wisteria is beatiful. A very inviting scene.

What a lovely garden. Looks very inviting. Would be nice with a nice tall something to drink! Beautifully framed. Nice photo of the wisteria.

Just heavenly - you didn't tell us you lived in paradise. Your garden looks like the one I have in my fantasy dreams when I think about what I want my yard to look like.

Wow that garden is amazing...and I love all your photos. Now I just wish I could smell it!

Your photos are lovely! I really need to come have tea some day and sit in your garden. It looks so pretty and peaceful!

What a lovely scene! I've never really seen the white wisteria. If it's got a nice fragrance, that would be a big plus!

Hi Sue, Thanks for stopping by my blog to check out Farah's photos. Your work is wonderful too. You've got some really nice shots on your blog. And thanks for your comment about the "X in the sky" photo. I thought it looked like a kiss in the sky too!!! Funny.
