Wisteria in the Park

Wisteria vines are beautiful. So when we went to Alexandria last week for personal business we searched for the blooms and found a great example of them cascading on white columns and porch. This week we went in to DC and the place I remembered having bountiful vines was already past bloom unfortunately. The national cathedral neighborhood has many fine examples. So when we took our morning walk to the neighborhood park We were surprised to see the lovely vines hanging from the trees. Usually we see them in more conventional forms. They were not as vivid purple as fresh blossoms, but looked lovely just the same. On closer inspection the clusters of little flowers are so enchanting. Some flowers just look spectacular. I’m sure it’s because they only last for a short period of time. At least this year we were able to be out and about and enjoy the short lived spectacle. There is just something about spring. Somehow everything looks so much better this year.
