Lovely images. Some info about Wisteria sinensis:
It is a deciduous climbing vine basically native to China. All parts of the plant contain a glycoside called wisterin which is toxic if ingested and may cause nausea, vomiting, stomach pains, and diarrhea. Wisterias have caused poisoning in children of many countries, producing mild to severe gastroenteritis. It was introduced from China to Europe and North America in 1816 and has secured a place as one of the most popular flowering vines for home gardens due to its flowering habit. It has however become an invasive species in some areas of the eastern United States where the climate closely matches that of China. regards Shantanu : ) On Sep 1, 9:48 am, tanay bose <tanaybos...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks sir Ji seen this back long back only once though it to be Pisum sp at > that time > Now I know the correct name thanks to you > tanay > > On Wed, Sep 1, 2010 at 7:21 AM, Gurcharan Singh <singh...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Wisteria sinensis from Kashmir, often plnted in gardens and along fences. > > Photographed from Hazuribagh garden on June 16, 2010. > > > -- > > Dr. Gurcharan Singh > > Retired Associate Professor > > SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, Delhi-110007 > > Res: 932 Anand Kunj, Vikas Puri, New Delhi-110018. > > Phone: 011-25518297 Mob: 9810359089 > >http://people.du.ac.in/~singhg45/ > > -- > Tanay Bose > Research Assistant & Teaching Assistant > Department of Botany > University of British Columbia > 3529-6270 University Blvd. > Vancouver, B.C.
