Actually, these breathtaking images—which resemble a magnificent late evening sky with streaks of pink and purple—showcase Japan’s biggest wisteria (or wistaria, depending on who you ask).

 

 

 

 

 

 

Though it is not the biggest in the world, this lovely plant from Ashikaga Flower Park in Japan still comes in at an amazing 1,990 square meters (or half an acre) and originates from roughly 1870 (the wisteria vine in Sierra Madre, California comes first). These plants are really flowering vines even if they sometimes seem like trees. This ancient plant’s whole construction is kept up on steel supports since its vines have the potential to get rather heavy. Visitors can stroll beneath its canopy and enjoy the pink and purple light emitted by its lovely blossoms.
