This beautiful Wisteria is just finishing blooming with only a few flowers left on the vine. I love the strong, fragrance of this variety of Wisteria. When it was full of flowers I got to work gathering the blossoms to dry them. I use these fragrant flowers to put into my Wisteria Bath Salts. Enjoy!

That is so cool! I don't have any Wisteria. Have to add it to my wish list.

They sure are really beautiful while they are on the trees :)

They are so beautiful! When I was a kid I would pretend they were bunches of grapes. Haven't seen them in a long time, until now.

Amazing what we remember as a child. Cool that you imagined grapes.

I know this flower but haven't seen it for a long time.

I love the smell of Wisteria, soaking in those bath salts must smell amazing!

It certainly does, I love my Wisteria as I get to enjoy it all year long. ;-)

BEAUTIFUL flower petals to use in bath salts!
Your creative mind is unbelievable!

I have been a mission this year to dehydrate so many flowers, herbs, etc to have in my pantry, medicinal cupboard, etc... this is one I don't have growing on the homestead... but it is lovely! I'm not sure I have ever smelled the aroma of wisteria either.

It smells wonderful. I love it in my bath salts all winter long. I love that you are working hard to do your herbs and flowers. My dehydrator seems to be on more than off....lol

Go friend that good aromatizante and more than is realized by you same. You would suppose that here in Venezuela they sell something similar and its smell is very pleasant and perishable. regards.

That's look so much fun @sunscape. Beautiful photography. 😊

Thank you Gillian, I have so many photos and not enough hours to do everything I would like to post.

iI know that feeling only too well @sunscape. 😊

Wow nice article.

Wonderful endeavor. Wisteria and very attractive flower.

Thanks Mike, I always have something going on.

here in Venezuela there is a very similar flower but it does not come out like that in a mallet, but it blooms flower by distant flower, I do not know if it will serve to make this flavoring.

I love wisteria @sunscape and your first photo of these beautiful flowers is gorgeous. I can just imagine the fragrance of that soap.......heavenly!

Oh it is wonderful Trudee, I love Wisteria and have had 3 different ones over the last 40 years. This is by far the most fragrant.

How wonderful. I’d love to be surrounded by such a lovely fragrance @sunscape. 🌺
