DOES IT GET ANYMORE BEAUTIFUL THAN WISTERIA IN BLOSSOM 🌸 IN JAPAN 🇯🇵 ?

 



The Japanese cherry blossom might be the national flower of Japan, but the elegant, vining wisteria plant is the star of one of the dreamiest places in the country. Located in the Kawachi Fuji Gardens in Kitakyushu (about a six-hour drive from Tokyo), the wisteria tunnel features 300 feet of pretty, pastel-colored blossoms The plant’s vines easily adapt to their surroundings, wrapping their stems around anything they come into contact with. The result is about 150 wisteria plants, spanning 20 different species of the flower, gracefully climbing and dangling from the tunnel’s overhead in a floral fever dream of white, blues, purples, and pinks.

The walkway isn’t the only place to take in the flowers’ romantic splendor. An overlook provides a perfect view of the tunnel’s expansive blossoming roof. The wisterias are at peak bloom in spring, and while it’s typically tough to secure a ticket among the thousands of other tourists, it doesn’t mean you can’t daydream about having the tunnel to yourself for the perfect bridal shoot, romantic walk, or solitary stroll to find peace in nature.

In addition to being picked and eaten fresh, Native Americans incorporated blueberries into a variety of dishes that include soups, stews, preserves and puddings. However, early uses of the blueberry extended far beyond cultural cuisine, spilling into medicinal uses in combination with roots, stems, leaves and flowers. Known today as the highbush variety, the plant natively stretched from the arctic plains across what is now the United States down through Mexico and into some parts of South America.  Although this information about the disease is surfacing only recently, samples that were analyzed in the study conducted by the University of North Carolina incl...

India: Mangoes It’s probably not a huge surprise that India takes the top spot on the list of the world’s biggest mango producers — the tropical fruit is native to the region and accounts for  50%  of the world supply.  But what you might not know is that mangoes from India only became an export available to the U.S. in the late aughts, when President George W. Bush reportedly allowed the import in exchange for India allowing  Harley-Davidson motorcycles into the South Asian country.  Still, India is not a top mango provider to the U.S., which instead imports most of its product from  Mexico, Peru, and Brazil .  Of the approximately 1,500 varieties of mangoes grown in India, the most popular — home and abroad — is the Alphonso, which is also known as the “ King of Mangoes. ” Vietnam: Pepper Black peppercorns are one of the most essential spices for any household pantry, and Vietnam is to thank for  nearly half  of the world’s output.  Th...
