I lived for a time in what was formerly the wash house for The Big House, and it had a beautiful wisteria growing all over one side of it (presumably to disguise the fact that washing had to actually be taken care of by lesser mortals).<br /><br />It was very lovely, and was wonderful for the bees that I kept... and very picturesque, right up until the point the weight of it pulled the roof off.<br /><br />wv: troses - I'd rather have t'roses than wisteria, any day.Mrs F with 4https://www.blogger.com/profile/02251591675774310188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-15769717527531935802011-03-28T12:36:37.468-04:002011-03-28T12:36:37.468-04:00what a fabulous old dame that house is ..

I thought it would be nice to plant wisteria at the base of one of them. Over the years the wisteria grew so big though the tress that you could no longer see my house from the road it got so big... I had the r=trees removed and then I had all these little baby wisteria coming up in the lawn. Trust me you can't get rid of the stuff. But it does look lovely when in bloom...<br /><br />Have a peaceful week...<br /><br />wv:unkaph: (I swear it was my wv)<br />My lawn looked very unkaph with all that wisteria popping up!!Maria_NJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17714568198005794384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2240067140694289750.post-72646997699195230142011-03-28T10:01:19.190-04:002011-03-28T10:01:19.190-04:00You are doing such a valuable service for generati...You are doing such a valuable service for generations of Mathewites/ians.

Also clicked on the Wisteria bloom pictures of it. Always heard Momma say "Father" brought the first wisteria to Mathews.
