Spring Bridal Show
We were among the hundreds of people at the San Luis Obispo Bridal Show which was held at the Madonna Expo Center on Sunday, April 15th. Some of the florists who buy our flowers were there and so many of our flowers were on display. We had a wonderful time! Make sure when you get flowers... that they come from Skyline! :)
Thank you to the florists we work with: Cambria Nursery & Florist, D & D Floral Design, Flowers By Kim, Jenny McNiece Flowers, Sprigs Floral Design, Victoria Floral.
This Wistaria Vine in Sierra Madre is the Largest Blossoming Plant in the World
We Like L.A. helps you find the best things to do in Los Angeles!
This video is about the massive wistaria (or more commonly, wisteria) vine located in Sierra Madre California. Originally planted from a one-gallon pot in 1894, the vine now takes up more than one acre of land and weighs approximately 250 tons.
In 1990 it was certified as the largest blossoming plant in the world, and is considered one of the seven horticultural wonders of the world. At its peak it's said to have 1.5 million blossoms.
The vine is on private property (spread over two residences), but because it is a National Historical Monument the homeowners are required to offer one day per year of free public admission. The showings coincides with the Sierra Madre Wistaria Festival, which takes place on Sierra Madre Blvd about one mile south of where the vine is. In 2017 the festival (and free showing of the plant) took place on March 12. Keep an eye out on the Sierra Madre Chamber website for info about next year's showing.

Google Map location: - As a reminder the vine is on private property and it's only publicly viewable one day per year. Please don't trespass!
Finally... why is it spelled wistaria instead of wisteria? According to this KPCC story: ...the town of Sierra Madre prefers to spell it wistaria, a name referring to the American physician Dr. Caspar Wistar. The spelling is a matter of some debate among plant enthusiasts.
