I once had une glycine climbing on a trellis at my house. Jolie, certainement, but what a huge pain in the derriere that plant was! Taking over everything, making a huge mess all over the deck... Yes, definitely: It looks much better sur l'Eglise de St Etienne du Mont! :-)Veronique (French Girl in Seattle)
This is a gorgeous shot, chere Genie! The colors of the wisteria, gate, and window...fantastic composition. Love your talent...I learn so much from you... Bises, - Irina
The wonderful bearded head is what I notice. Wisteria sets my teeth on edge . . . it is so weedy that I can't destroy the shoots that invade my yard from my neighbor.
Wisteria grows profusely where I live. It is almost like kudzoo (google it) as an invasive plant. I do love the way it looks but once it takes hold there is no stopping it. It can take over and kill a tree and it might even take over a house. I had to move away from the last wisteria I had.
All that said, it is gracefully gorgeous in the spring and dresses up Paris in the most scrumptious way.

Lovely Genie! Is that wisteria climbing up the side wall? You sure have an eye for beauty.
Blessings,

C'est une très jolie façade...

Hello Genie:
Such a good combination and a wonderful blue of the railings which tones so well with the climber.
Beautiful! I love the blue fence!
Wisteria is a great accompaniment to this grand old architecture. Nice capture Genie.
What a romantic and charming view!
Interesting angle on this photo.
This photo grabs you and transports you to Paris!
The wisteria adds a bit of whimsy I think. You have spring and I'm alas still posting dead of winter in Paris! :(

Nice angle to capture the different elements of this shot - iron, stone, glass, wood, and wisteria.
I love your composition to begin with and the blue fence and gorgeous wisteria are the perfect touch! Hope your week is going well, mon amie!
Hugs

A gorgeous view. I like the blue iron fence with the wisteria draping over it, so pretty!
I love it when the wisteria is in bloom! (And I remember this building, which is very near to where I used to live.) Thanks, Genie.
I'm a sucker for any kind of lavender blooms....wisteria is so gorgeous...sometimes you can see it in Belgrade.
Wonderful shot!
J'aime L'architecture et la glycine!
Gorgeous shot, dear Génie.
Je t'embrasse.

Nice details.

Beautifully captured!
Glycine climbs all over Vienna, but a month or two earlier. Here the blossoms are long gone.
