Wisteria sinensis........



Flowering through the Cherimoya tree at Cortijo Azahar.....




Wisterias are beautiful twining climbers of the family Fabaceae with beautifully scented flowers in shades of white, purple and pink. Wisteria is ideal for training into trees and covering walls, pergolas and other garden structures.

 Wisteria sinensis produces its flowers before the leaves appear and has stems that twine anticlockwise. Wisteria floribunda bears leaves and flowers at the same time and has stems that twine clockwise.
