This 144-Year-Old Wisteria In Japan Looks Like A Pink Sky

These stunning photographs, which look like a glorious late evening sky with dashes of pink and purple, are actually pictures of Japan’s largest wisteria (or wistaria, depending on whom you ask) plant.

If you don't live close to any huge wisteria trees, at least you can plant and grow your own wisteria. Within one year they can grow 10 feet! Wisterias aren't all that hard to look after either, according to the US Plant Hardiness scale they are one tough hunk of bark! Even capable of growing in soil that is of poor quality. Feeling obsessed with these photos? Wisteria has a way of luring people in, hence the name. Wisteria symbolizes "passionate love" or "obsession" in the Victorian language of flowers.
