Wisteria sinensis

[Fons Baerken]

April-23,2018 -Wisteria sinensis, the earliest flowering Wisteria, flowers on nude branches last week of April.
Last year all flowers were bitten by frost, this year we seem to be lucky.
To rejuvenate, pruned the shrub quite a bit this time so less flowers.

Nice photos Fons. I have Wisteria in my yard and due to the vertical nature of the flowers it can be a difficult thing to take a photo of.

As a side note, wisteria sinensis is named that as it has a counter-clockwise vining habit as opposed to wisteria floribunda which could clockwise.

True about the clock or counter-clock winding, Jack, i always have to guess which variety i have, our plant crawls a wooden fence and i need to keep it in check by clipping the new shoots and removing dead wood each year.
A bit contrary to what in general people associate me with i took a very flat approach in processing.
Thank you.

I think your processing on this gives a very soft and appropriate look. It is dangerously easy to saturate and lose delicacy.

Jack the light in your image is quite different but light is a local affair i think

2nd helping with a Russian Tair-11a, 135mm f/2.8, m42-Nikon Ai so no infinity, Df camera.

Very nice, Fons. Lovely plant the Wisteria.

Some M42 lenses can have infinity, like the  Carl Zeiss Jena Triotar 135/4

The 60/2.8 AF-D is pretty sharp wide open.

Fons, very pretty, so delicate. Never heard of a Russian Tair-11a, had to google it.
