Quimper Hittys

Vine

The Quimper Humans planted a Wisteria vine a couple of years ago, and it seems to be growing quite happily…

Fronds and leaves

reach

…most of which are growing on the arbour we made for it, though some are reaching for the gutters of the house!

tie

The stray fronds get tied back to the arbour structure or else pruned off…

Quilt

…our vine doesn’t have flowers yet – maybe next year! Meanwhile Perdita is sitting next to the Quimper Hitty Wisteria Quilt…

Komorebi

…and enjoying the komorebi of our leafy vine!

Komorebi is a Japanese word, written 木漏れ日 meaning:  木 (ko)  tree, 漏れ (more)  to escape from, and 日 (bi)  sun. Together, the characters mean something like “sunlight filtering through trees.”
