Wisteria (American Wisteria)

(all file photos from 2004/2005)

These are file photos from years past, however, I just saw the yearly avalance of Wisteria that drape a hedge row near the juntion of Intersate 430 and I-630 in Little Rock, AR (USA). As lovely as they are, the wisteria vine is not always welcome as it can smother trees and brush. Years ago I came across wisteria on the way out, that formed something of a Wisteria Falls, as clusters carpeted a 30 foot plus tree.

the Green Revolution (c) by Kirk Jordan

In these last few weeks we have seen nothing short of a remaking of the world.

(that is, central Arkansas, following excessive rains)

Two weeks ago - bricks, sticks, and brackish bones,
This week, cream of green, lima bean - and foamy loam.
