All these fabulous wisterias were photographed in May last year in a single small village. Chédigny is most famous for its roses, but the wisterias and lilacs peak before the roses have really got underway. The last one is a Japanese wisteria, with its very long racemes of flowers, as opposed to all the others which are the Chinese species. And in the first photo there is a white wisteria not quite in bloom on the left.
This year the wisterias are out a couple of weeks earlier than last, but it's another magnificent display.

A great display
These wisterias are magnificent. Chédigny is the flower capital of the world.
love wisteria......our honeysuckle has more blooms than usual this yr & is blooming earlier
Every time we've stopped by Chedigny, the flowers have been gorgeous. Maybe in the dead of winter it's not much, but neither is Pennsylvania.
I think Chedigny's small size makes it possible for the town to manage all the plantings along the streets, but having a team of gardeners and refreshing the plantings has to be expensive.
