wisteria

Wisteria, native to the South, like kudzu is quite invasive. However of the two I would choice wisteria for its color and fragrance. However, I must admit I vigorously cut it down in my backyard as it will kill my trees. There have been reports of wisteria covering an entire acre and if you know the possessive roots of wisteria one can only imagine the damage it wrecks.  Wisteria can be made into a wine and parts eaten while some species of wisteria are poisonous, such a wily plant. This particular blossom was saved for the time being. 🙂
