Wisteria ... from a stick ....

... to one beautiful display of a fragrant surprise.

 First off, I want to tell you the story behind this beautiful plant.  As a novice gardener, I bought this "stick" at a local garden store, stuck it in the ground, watched it for a year then pulled it out of the ground and threw it in the field behind my new house. The next year, as I was wandering the field trying to scavenge rocks, I looked over at a heap of garden debris, and low and behold the "stick" was doing something! I pulled it back out of the ground and stuck it back in the dirt by the corner of the house. You could just about watch the "stick" grow! Within no time, it was up the side of the house and trailing along the front of the garage. Now, 15 years later, it's a show stopper!

When it's in bloom, people stop their cars to view this example of one happy plant. The fragrance and flowers can only be described as an experience to behold!

Moral of the story ....cast your sticks carefully, you never know what you might miss out on!
