I like to discover those places in the world that become unique because nature has become infatuated with offering a unique spectacle.
It happens in those big fields of multi-colored tulips looming over vast expanses of the Netherlands and also in Japan, where you can find one of the most wonderful places in the world that could well be part of a Van Gogh painting.
Tunnel in bloom
The Kawachi Fuji Gardens They are located in the city of Kitakyushu, in Japan. They occupy a large area and different species of plants and shrubs can be seen, however the gaze is concentrated by an army of beautiful Wisteria that have the peculiarity of rolling up and together they offer a unique show every year, especially between the end of April and mid-May, when the flowers are at their peak.
More than 150 Wisteria plants of 20 species coexist in the wisteria tunnela tunnel made up of three large lattices differentiated by colors and shapes. Hanging flowers everywhere that can be enjoyed just by walking through the tunnel. There are double-petalled wisteria, a stretch with wisteria arranged like bushes, and a third with yellow and white wisteria.
Special features of wisteria
To understand the fabric of this tunnel, it is necessary to know something more about the Wisteria, plants that hang while they use their branches to climb over other planes, winding them around others, either clockwise or counter-clockwise. This is how they can climb up to 20 meters from the ground and about 10 meters from the side.
Wisteria belong to genus Wisteria and it is a woody and climbing shrub so they are cultivated as ornamental plants due to the beauty of its clusters and its complex foliage. There are many species of wisteria, some native to places like China, Korea, or Japan, others to the eastern United States.
The colors vary according to the species, they can be violet, yellow, blue or white and the inflorescences usually reach between 10 cm and 1 meter in length. The best known are the Wisteria sinensis (Sims) Sweet, native to China and the Wisteria floribunda (Willd) DC., The wisteria of Japan.
