What is kudzu? I gather it's a plant that can be invasive. (Might have to look this up)

I am anxious to see if my wisteria comes back after being damaged last year. I LOVE the sight and smell. My forsythia popped last Friday, and I KNOW spring is here. Today was beautiful, but tomorrow...rain and a cold front.

Gee, I was happy because the fruit trees are starting to bloom. I would love to be there to smell the flowers :-)

How beautiful! There are lots of wisteria blooming in our area right now. It makes it easy to spot old home places. The houses may have been gone for years, but those wisterias bloom on.

I love them! DH was in a men's group in CA that put a historical placque on this one for it's 101st birthday.

It covered more than 2 acres and the owners of the 2 properties through the years spent several fortunes on structures for it.
