Wisteria Flower

Wisteria (known as fuji in Japan) is said to be one of the archipelago's most ancient noted flowering trees, even being described in the collected poems of the Man'yōshū (Collection of Ten Thousand Leaves).

Noda fuji, a species native to Japan, comes in varieties named for their cascading trusses:

 Usubeni fuji (light pink),

 Murasaki fuji (purple),

 Naga fuji (long), 

Yae kokuryu (double-petaled black dragon),

 and Shiro fuji (white), which come into bloom in that order.

 Finally, a yellow variant of wisteria (known as Golden chain or Common laburnum; [Laburnum anagyroides]) 

- and widely considered difficult to grow in Japan - can also be enjoyed for over a month.
