In June, the Jacaranda bloom. Loud, splendid in the southern California sun. In the Northwest, the show starts softly. Demure, delicate among the pines.

wisteria, the color of sun rays blushing … peeking shyly through the clouds at the rebirth of a spring day.

wisteria’s language is welcome spring!
