Bee Crazy for Wisteria

Wisteria blooms are not only pretty, they are also delicious...

This bumblebee will tell you how irresistible the wisteria blooms are... 

... smell so good...

... taste even better...

Yum yum...

More bumblebees agree.

So good....

 

Blooming Wisteria

 

Pinkish wisteria is blooming.

A beautiful combination of colors, blue sky, green trees and pink flowers.

The pink wisteria flowers are like pink waterfall.

Maybe we should call it "flower fall"?

Spring garden is so enjoyable.  

There is also a lavender wisteria nearby but not as spectacular as the pink ones.
