  1. Was removing a tangle of wisteria and privet today. After I had cut the stems and pulled the mass away, SURPRISE a bunch of poison ivy was hiding in the middle.

    I have no idea if I got any poison ivy oils on me. So this will be a fun little waiting game.

  6. What I did recently, going from home in Ōsaka to Tōkyō (2). My friend the Aoyama Gakuin University professor and I went to Shinjuku Gyoen (新宿御苑), quite a large park in central Tōkyō. I'm hard-pressed with the limit of four photos. He had a nice camera and sent me some close-ups of flowers in the greenhouse of Shinjuku Gyoen that I'm not showing this time. If there seems to be a demand, I will. Here I show how spacious the park is, despite the central location, wisteria in Japanese culture, and spooky trees with roots like hands reaching up. The last photo is my close-up of the 'Mickey Mouse' flower, if you can see the resemblance.

  11. Bought as a supermarket rescue two-years ago, this had a couple of small sickly-looking flowers and was just 50cm tall. Today it’s three meters tall with over 30 blooms… and still growing. We’re hoping it’ll completely cover the back of our home.

  16. うす紅の藤 / さかつー / May 17, 2026 5:21 PM
    あしがらフラワーパークの藤が見ごろとニュースに出た2日後に行ったら完全に終わっていた。
    ふと見ると、見頃はこんな感じですという看板が有ったので、それを撮影して見たことに。

    I smelled them before I saw them, and the scent alone transported me back thirty years.

    It’s an odd thing, how something can become inextricably linked to a person in your memory. My grandmother didn’t have wisteria in her yard or garden in Maine when I was growing up, that I can remember. When my grandparents moved to South Carolina, after I had started college, their new house *did* have it. The trees the vines were climbing got removed (at the insistence of a neighbor, I believe, who worried they’d fall on *her* house), but Mimi kept the wisteria. She wound the vines together so they’d climb themselves, essentially creating wisteria bushes, and when they bloomed they were glorious.

    So now this adult memory, rather than anything from childhood, is what I associate most with her. Seeing or smelling them takes me back to sitting on the porch, watching skinks dart along the railing, hearing the drone of cicadas, and admiring her wisteria.

  22. The Wisteria is beautiful this year with massive blooms and its heady scent. Only truly revealed on Friday after removal of scaffolding.
