I love wisteria. Something elegaic to me about them. Maybe it's the way how the flowerheads droop over and the first part of the name, suggesting "wistful." I dunno. I can't explain it.

One thing for sure, to me, it appears the hydrangea flowers are giants in our area. Probably because of the rain, mist, balmy weather.

At the Royal Botanical Gardens in Hamilton, Ontario there is a large grove of exclusively lilac varieties. It's amazing. Gardens are a 120 kms. round trip bike ride from downtown Toronto. I've done it twice.
