FYI: Wisteria season has begun in Saitama

I'm still posting about cherry blossoms here and on social media, but I will be switching to wisteria soon. Because the wisteria season has begun in Saitama Prefecture. Places around the prefecture that have wisteria flowers have started to report about the flowering status of the wisteria. I don't think anywhere has reached full bloom yet, but I could be wrong. The places I am tracking most are currently at about 40% bloom. 

The wisteria pictured in this post is neither ancient nor famous. You can find wisteria like this all over Saitama Prefecture, but if you want to see some ancient ones, there are choices for that too. In this prefecture, the most famous is probably the Wisteria of Ushijima in Tokaen garden. Some say its the most famous wisteria in the world! I don't know about that, I would speculate that the wisteria in Ashikaga flower park are more widely known. Perhaps Tokaen's is the most famous ancient wisteria. Personally, I had never heard of it until I moved to Saitama!

Have you seen any wisteria flowers in bloom where you live?
