From a Vine to a Japanese Wisteria!

 


Big change around this week.  After much much discussion and soul searching, we decided to remove the Vitis coignetiae from the garage and in its place, plant a Japanese Wisteria.  After some research we've gone for depth of color and perfume and decided on a Brachybotrys okayama aka iko yama fuji.  An interesting fact is that Chinese Wisterias grown clockwise whilst Japanese Wisterias grow anticlockwise.  One question: I wonder WHY?  Actually, no!  Another question: will it have its first flower in the spring???
