Wisteria Lane

This is my second post about flowers in my neighbourhood. I have never imagined I would know more about flowers due to my new found hobby, blogging that is. It’s now in the middle of Spring in Australia though there have been flower festivals happening (Tulip festival in Bowral and the very popular Floriade in Canberra) I have to pass them for now since I can’t travel longer because of the baby. But I am contented to see my neighbours’ front yards change its colours every few weeks. In mid-September these long clusters of purple flowers were gracing the streets.

 

Wisteria is a flowering plant that belongs to a pea family. It can be pruned to stand upright or like a vine that climbs anywhere. I was amazed when I saw both sides of a neighbour’s fence covered with these purple blooms. It even climbed up and covered their front porch. Honestly, I never noticed these flowers last year or the previous years. Had I not look for a nice backdrop I would have missed this delicate beauty this time around as well. But sadly the flowers’ glory only lasted for 2 weeks and it began to fall resembling into a purple rain.

Sorry, I have this annoying hair flicking habit :)

Though it might not have a distinct fragrance like jasmine, to me it has a pleasant creamy vanilla scent. It felt like I was near an ice cream container van while taking pictures. For sure I will look out for these droopy purple blooms the next time they'll come around.

As for my bag (I won't end without mentioning it after all this is also a bag blog :)), I was using my Louis Vuitton Montorgueil the GM size which is the bigger, the smaller is PM. This Monty is my workhorse bag for now until I will get another big bag in black colour, still thinking what brand. I take this to work often because I can fit everything including my breakfast and lunch meals though I won't overdo it for fear it might snap. But it shouldn't after all it's Louis Vuitton.

My OOTD:
Clic clac bracelet from Hermes
Monogram bag from Louis Vuitton
Dress from Get Laud
