Wisteria Blooming in Ravello

After a couple of years of rainy and cold springs, the Amalfi Coast is finally having the mild and beautiful spring weather that it’s famous for. The wisteria has been blooming for weeks already along the coastline, and I’ve been enjoying its sweet scent filling the air. While the wisteria in Positano peaked about two weeks ago, the cooler temperatures up in the mountains of Ravello means that the wisteria blooms a little later there. I’ve been in Ravello quite a bit recently, and I’ve found wisteria blooming all over the town, from little trellises covered with vines to luscious clusters of flowers decorating the walls and signs. Here are a few springtime views of wisteria in Ravello. Enjoy!

      Ciao Jackie! Thank you so much for your sweet comment. It really made my day! I do hope you’ll have success growing wisteria in your garden. Bougainvillea is another classic here on the Amalfi Coast. Later this summer I’ll be sure to share some photos of the brightly colored blooms to start your day with a bit of Amalfi Coast cheer!

    The wisteria has been truly wonderful this year and the perfume in the evening so strong.

    Hello Laura,
    I came upon your blog one day while looking for apartments to rent in Sorrento for a week in October. I am retired from the US Navy and have had to opportunity to travel many times to Europe and fell in love with Capri and Sorrento back in ’96 when my ship broke down in the Naples harbor. I am bringing a couple of friends with me for a visit in October and would love to stay on the Almafi Coast. Do you give tours? If not can you recommend anyone. My frieinds have never been to Europe and I want to make sure they have the time of their life.
    I read your blog every day. AWESOME:)

Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the m Non Amalfi Coast question. Do you wake up in the morning with music or a song in your head? I do nearly every morning and it’s curious to me what shows up. Usually it’s something I’ve been listening to, but sometimes it’s really random, like someone’s left the music room door slightly ajar in the brain. This morning it was a jaunty version of “Loch Lomond” from the 1940s sung by Maxine Sullivan. (You’d think that would be from the random category but I actually listened to it yesterday.) So that’s what was swinging about in my head as I took a walk early this morning. 🎶

Musing On The Roaring Ocean
by Robert Burns

Musing on the roaring ocean, 
Which divides my love and me; 
Wearying heav’n in warm devotion, 
For his weal where’er he be. 

Hope and Fear’s alternate billow 
Yielding late to Nature’s law, 
Whispering spirits round my pillow, 
Talk of him that’s far awa. 

Ye whom sorrow never wounded, 
Ye who never shed a tear, 
Care-untroubled, joy-surrounded, 
Gaudy day to you is dear. 

Gentle night, do thou befriend me, 
Downy sleep, the curtain draw; 
Spirits kind, again attend me, 
Talk of him that’s far awa!
