DSC01447 Kentucky Wisteria (Wisteria frutescens)

This is a NATIVE wisteria. It looks much like Chinese wisteria, but is not quite as aggressive in its growth habits. It looks much like the exotic wisteria, but the flower looks a little different. It is fragrant, but it does not smell the same as the exotic species. Its bloom time is different. There are several specimens on the preserve, but the best place to look for blooming specimens has been along the earthen dam that creates Lake Hyatt. Photographed April 27, 2013.
