Wisteria and Bittersweet

I was glad to see my Wisteria vine had survived
the harsh winter, this is the

2nd year since I planted this vine and now it's
showing signs of life.

This Japanese Bittersweet female was a seedling
about 2

summers ago, when my mom gave it to me it was
about 2 inches

tall and now only 2 summers later it has already
reached the middle

top of my pergola. The female bittersweets
produce flowers where the

males do not, the males have only foliage.
This vine has just started to

bud up.

You can see the little buds, their little
flowers are white.

In this photo you can see how thick the stems
are already and

tend to grow very curvy.

This is the top of the pergola.
