Question
Hi, I see these pretty clusters of light purple flowers in the Boston area. I don't recall seeing them in previous springs. I'm not sure if the flowers in the picture are from the tree of from the parasite around it. Any idea what this is?
Answer
Dear yigalagam, you appear to have photographed a species of Wisteria (also known by the common name wisteria), a liana in the legume family. I cannot identify the species you have from the single photograph you provided, but hopefully knowing the genus will be helpful to you. If you provide additional photographs of the leaves I may be able to suggest which species this is.
