Garden Bliss: Japanese Wisteria Tunnel

    Japan has an annual celebration named Fuji Matsuri, also known as The Wisteria Festival. These photographs were taken in Kawachi Fuji Garden, located roughly four hours from Tokyo. Wisteria usually blooms in Japan from mid-April until mid-May. These gigantic trellises allow the Wisteria to fall gracefully over the parks, while different species paint a soft, colourful scenery. 

 Gardendesign.com has provided the names of each of these Wisteria species seen in the photos above. 

'Usubeni fuji' (light pink), 'Murasaki fuji' (purple), 'Naga fuji' (long), 'Yae kokuryu' (double-petaled black dragon), and 'Shiro fuji' (white).

Have one's cake and eat it too!

     I recently discovered this awesome company during a late night of cruising Pinterest. Sweet Design Company is located in Toronto, Ontario and caters to Weddings and other events. I love the attention to detail in all of these treats. My mind is saying these are much too beautiful to be eaten, but my sweet tooth is saying something else!
