You're looking at a 200 year-old wisteria vine at Byakugou-ji Temple in Tamba, Hyogo, Japan. The delicate pink/purple blossoms create an otherworldly place where magic can happen. But here's an interesting fact: wisteria are in the legume family (Fabaceae). This is a magic beanstalk.

thanks again. mother of all beanstalks! (wisteria vine at Byakugou-ji Temple)

So beautiful

The largest vine re: Guinness is in Sierra Madre CA! Stunning!

thanks so much for posting, this is truly beautiful, we need all the beauty we can find in this crazy world.

Magically spectacular

That is spectacular, mine is two years old and nearly 7 ft tall.

Spectacular 💜💜

So beautiful!

PANDORA

That's amazingly gorgeous! Thank you for posting!

A delightfully toxic beanstalk!

Absolutely Breath-takingly Gorgeous. 💜

Stunning!

That is amazingly beautiful 🤩

Wisteria spreads and is very invasive. But it smells great when in bloom.

This is what you get with aggressive & rigorous pruning. Without constant maintenance it's worse than kudzu and will tear a building apart. It propagates from the roots and the vines. Don't plant this!

Ответ для Dotbob

A relative of alfalfa. Which spreads similarly with access to water. The flowers are fairly similar too. Just smaller in scale. Similar seed pods too.

Ответ для Jewish Space Laser Technician

Yes, every flower makes a pea like pod with huge brown seeds. I grew one from seed because I loved them so much. It took over 15 years to bloom. Now it has taken over and I'm too old to fight it.

Ответ для Dotbob

The place across the street when I lived in Newport had the American variety growing along a fence. The entire neighborhood would fill with the intoxicating fragrance when it bloomed.

Ответ для Jewish Space Laser Technician

Oh absolutely. It's stunning and the fragrance is intoxicating. It's to the top of my 40 year old back yard sycamore & heading for the front yard after almost taking the roof off my garage.

Ответ для Jewish Space Laser Technician

And I'm just down the road aways from you. My Dad was from Erwin.

Ответ для Dotbob

This was Newport Rhode Island. I should have been specific because there's probably at least one in every state and English speaking country.

Ответ для Jewish Space Laser Technician

I thought about that... after. 🙄

Stunning mother nature doing her thing.

Beautiful

I did not know this!!! Ty, for imparting knowledge to my brain. 💙

Holy guacamole, that is spectacular! 🤯

I have and japanese one, after years of looking for an American one. in the winter it is a few sticks, come summer it leafs out and provides great shade to my deck. it stays 10-15 degrees cooler without a breeze.

Gorgeous!

Thank you for this thread this is so cool ❤️‍🩹

this is the kind of bluesky posts i want to see in my timeline

One of my very favorite plants. Grows wild in my area. Beautiful!!!

Looks beautiful but not growing in my backyard.

😮 well, shut my mouth!!!!

"the smell of wisteria, the creaking of a clothes-line, a certain stormy cast of spring light" from Donna Tartt's novel The Little Friend.

Reminds me of those rare women who just live life to the fullest, no regrets. Their stories, intoxicating.

Absolutely beautiful? 😍 6

Notice it's near no structures with no runners seen. Lord are they invasive. I have an at least 70 yo one here and keeping it managed is quite the job.

Ответ для Absurd_Dad

A house near me has a vine growing over a front yard wooden fence. As it hasn't changed much since I've lived here, their gardener(s) must do ferocious pruning. Still bursts with gorgeous, fragrant purple flowers every year, one of my spring highlights. And the bees love it as much as I do.

Ответ для Vexed.

Ours steals my hat as a mow with the tractor rolling by the trellis & pergola top it's grows on. Pretty for a spell, smells decent for a bit, but a hat stealer year round. I think it's related to Charlie brown's kite eating tree.

🤯 The magic bean stalk is real?!

Beautiful! All over VA are wisteria vines, which decorated the farmhouses that once lived there!

Any attribution for this pic I would like to share it ?

Indeed it is !

Fascinating & beautiful

Incredible!

It doesn't even look real. ❤️

Here’s one I took in Nice, France

Here's 2 Google Maps user-submitted photos of the exact same scene from a completely different angle showing matching benches, metal supports, landscaping timbers & trunk shape. If you have a location and similar Google Maps matches, I'll be happy to check that out.

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

Mine is from October 2023 when I rented an apartment there.

Glorious photo

💜d having wisteria fights as a kid ...

are those posts holding it up?

Don't ever plant Wisteria anywhere, unless you hate the people who own or live there. It is aggressive and sends out shoots underground that invade everything. The vine reaches for passers by, small children and shingles. It's no wonder this is 800 years old, it's almost impossible to contain.

My mother had a beautiful wisteria in her front yard that bloomed amazingly 3 x a year, even after a hard freeze. I sold her house after she passed and the new owners in Waco, TX and years later I drove by and they had ripped it up. I have a feeling they must vote maga. 🤬😫 why destroy beauty?

Iirc don’t these grow like crazy and you have to be quite careful when planting.. beautiful but dangerous

So beautiful

Had wisteria here in my southern california patio. It was beautiful in bloom but filthy most other times. We removed it.

That honestly looks like a dream. I hope it’s a real photo.

I did a duck duck go image search for it, by name and location, and it seems to be real, and truly that beautiful. Here's the results: duckduckgo.com?q=200%20year...

Is duck duck go the way now to tell if things are fabricated? I’ve seen ads for them. It would be so wonderful to have a quick way to weed out the fake posts.

Ответ для harleycat24

I like them a lot. They give you the choice of whether or not to filter out ai images, answers, etc., and maybe best of all, they don't share anything with ai for training, and they don't require you to be tracked. Here's two screenshots of the settings you can choose for that stuff:

Ответ для CL (says protect trans kids and adults)

Thank you for this information. It’s much appreciated.

Genus Wisteria includes four species: Japanese, Chinese, American & Silky wisteria. But the name is distinctly American. My fellow biologists will know the Wistar Institute & Wistar rats. Wisteria is named in honor of American physician & anatomist Caspar Wistar (1761–1818).

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

But the Japanese wisteria, called fuji (藤), is the most colorful & has deep roots in Japanese culture, forming the basis for a number of noble family crests. Because vines could last centuries, it became associated with longevity or even immortality.

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

One of the most famous wisteria sites in Japan is Ashikaga flower park, which has two transplanted vines that are at least 170 years old. The wisteria orchard forms an arch covering 1,990 square meters, so you can walk through the perfumed air in the shade of the blossoms.

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

American wisteria (Wisteria frutescens, shown) is generally lighter in color, with shorter blooms, so some ornamental gardens use the Japanese wisteria (Wisteria floribunda) & it has escaped & become an invasive in some areas. The seeds are lima bean-like, coated in a saponin called 'wisterin' ...

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

... which is toxic when eaten, causing nausea & vomiting. The pods containing the seeds explode with an audible pop, spreading seeds via "explosive dehiscence". So there you go: magic beanstalks exist, they're named for a Philadelphia physician & apparently they repel demons?

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

It chokes off the Savannah oak trees that host it. So there is a concerted effort on the eastern coast to cut it out when found in Savannah oaks.

Ответ для Ecoprairiepainter

So good. Just beautiful💜

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

So, I know a good number of beans work well for dying things. Do you happen to know if wisteria beans can be used for dying? I know I could look it up. But I also like asking people questions.

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

Goblins are linked to metallic flying discs and explosion noises in the fairy tales

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

I had a Wisteria at my old house. I called it the 'Sniper Plant' because of how many times I was hit by seeds. Once I had some friends over and a pod exploded sending one seed to hit a fence across the street. My friends went wide-eyed at that.

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

Mine is happy and aggressive in my back yard. Grows a lot every summer. Those seed pods are like fire crackers when they hit the patio. Snap!

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

Reminds me of the school I taught at in Incheon, South Korea. Built by the Japanese during their occupation, they planted outdoor classrooms for warmer weather as wisteria arbours. My favourite classrooms ever. And the kids responded well to the forest bathing. Gorgeous to see and smell.

Ответ для KayDee1968

Surreal experience. The aroma is heavenly! 💙💛💚💜

Ответ для audry-b

It really was! My husband, who was teaching at a boy’s technical school, didn’t have the same experience. No outdoor classrooms, no wisteria arbours, no cherry trees forming avenues of blossom

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

as someone whose yard is infested with Wisteria vines, I can indeed confirm that they last centuries...😂

Ответ для the mjl (michael j leblanc)

My (previous) house’s porch had a gloriously mature Wisteria covering, growing through every structural elemental. Lovely ambiance. Until we woke up one morning to discover the entire roof structure and 100 yr old steel columns strewn about the front yard. Took prbly 50-60 yrs, but vine beat house

Ответ для Picard online, his face palmed

I’m in the woods of central MA but whoever owned it in the 90s was REALLY into Japanese gardening (trendy back then). Her “footprints” remain. So the flora is… “interesting”. Invasive Asian species. At least three of which would be illegal to even plant, now.

Ответ для the mjl (michael j leblanc)

Small world; my ex & co-homeowner at the time just moved back to Boston (our house was in Salt Lake City). The Wisteria was her darling. Legit believe she chose me (architect, former builder) as a spouse because I'd be able to repair the inevitable (and redesign around preserving the damn vine)

Ответ для Picard online, his face palmed

My best friend’s former home had gorgeous wisteria on the porch. They were told how destructive it could be so they were diligent about trimming back every year to keep it from getting under the roof. Unfortunately the house was eventually sold to an investment company who removed the wisteria.

Ответ для c0nc0rdance

Then "wistaria", which I see occasionally, isn't necessarily a misspelling?

That is absolutely breath taking!! 😲❤️

Absolutely stunning💜💜

Ours is only like 40, but my kids love to use the "magic bean pods" to make potions and witch brews 💜

Thank you.

Can you imagine all of that energy coming out of that little stick vine

When knowledge becomes poetry. BRAVO! 👏👏👏

Well you don't think they are just stories, do you?

Beautiful!💜 Where’s Jack?

Don't tell Trump,he'll cut it down and replace it with a plastic chair and table.😵‍💫

I had Chinese wisteria in my yard in AR. It was the most invasive difficult plant to control, choked out every tree in my yard with its runners and undermined a wrought iron fence. It outlasted my ownership of the property & is most likely still challenging whoever lives there now for dominance.

This made me think of a lyric in a song called “20 Million Things to Do” by the late, great Little Feat guitarist, Lowell George. “I’ve got mysterious wisterias hanging in the air” It’s always better with a song youtu.be/jhLo1Ib6ym0?...

Wow!

:)

I have one and absolutely love it! When in bloom it permeates my entire property!

Cut the roots every year in a tight circle, and never let it grow anywhere else.

Incredibel beauty

An absolute beauty! 💖

Absolutely stunning the temple must be so peaceful and there was hysteria is giving love right back

Gorgeous.

Stunning!

♥️

Thinking about trying this in a big pot sometime soon, and hoping I can keep it outside over winter in MN. Gathering info from garden sites & Reddit, but if anyone here has insight I’ll appreciate it.

That is absolutely stunning, it reminded me of a picture I took this spring of my cherry tree.

Ответ для Adrienne

Thank you for sharing this gorgeous image. As an apartment-habitant, I am 💯 envious of you owning a quiet little corner with relaxing outdoor furniture and such a stunning flowering tree!🥰🥰🥰

🤔 So does that mean they are edible and a 🇯🇵 Japanese delicacy?

wow beautiful

I would love to just lay down under that wisteria and look up into those branches.

It can take over every thing ☺️

Stunning, thank you for sharing.💕

WoW!

Beautiful 🤩

😲😍

Breathtaking

My dad loved them! He saw them at a library in BC. It wasn't good on a condo trellis

Breathtakingly beautiful.

Love the smell of wisteria -- a combination of lilac and popped firecrackers.

so beautiful. Thank you for posting.

Gorgeous

That’s very beautiful, I wish some could take me to such a place fir just a moment

I lived in a house w/wooden siding. 1 side English Ivy, the other, Wisteria. I was told how invasive Wisteria was, it would take over my house & yard. I had heard the same about the Ivy. The Wisteria was beautiful while at the invasive takeover, but never did the same harm to my siding as the EI.

There is beauty in the world for all of us. The oligarchs want it all just for themselves!

So beautiful 😍

@dailybeanspod.com Some magic legumes for the leguminati.

My wisteria had a single small white flower cluster, now gone but the tendrils are rapidly taking over the south east facing fence. I was once told that when your wisteria flowers, it’s time to move house.

Amazing. How do you know what I am looking at?

Beautiful, when I was a kid my neighbor had a trellis over the driveway covered with wisteria it was something I'll never forget...

Holy moly The heavenly fragrance of these blossoms must be almost overpowering (the scent of common wisteria will forever remind me of childhood visits to San Francisco). Thank you for posting this marvel.

That’s a fat stalk.

That's the prettiest beanstalk I've ever seen!

"Otherworldly" is precisely the word, c0! Gorgeous, and riveting. An "old-school" Buddhist school .. (Tendai, not Zen): imagine tending a vine for 200 years! #Commitment

Wow. Just, wow.

Wow, that is stunningly beautiful. My inner witch is calling...

Incredible.

😍😍😍

Took this in front of a Buffalo Wild Wings a couple years ago.

One of my favorite plants

💜

Spectacular💘🤩

It's also deadly so don't eat it.

The legume family is huge and diverse!

I just hate it. Maybe pretty but it takes over, like a cancer—or like human beings on the earth, come to think of it. Glad the biggest one is over in Japan and not near my garden.

Hey I’ve got a leaf blower, bring it! I’d love to have this in my yard.

They are all perfect

Japan has a lot of obssessive gardrners who can contain them with a 24 hour watch schedule.
