Wisteria
by Ariane ~ November 30, 2008
Two big wisterias top the bridge in Monet’s water garden at Giverny. One is a pale lavender, it blooms first for two weeks, generally at the beginning of May.
It is followed by the white wisteria. So if you come in May you are pretty sure to see the canopy flowering. But according to the year the blooming period varies. if the Winter was mild and Spring early, the lavender wisteria starts earlier, at the end of April. On the contrary a late Winter can delay it up to three weeks.
But anyway, there is always something spectacularly beautiful to admire in Monet’s garden, from April through October.

To paint in the gardens, you need permission of Fondation Monet.
