Looks like it might be evergreen wisteria (Millettia reticulata).

YES, thank you, that is what I was hoping it looked like.
Now, can I get a majority? lol

I vote evergreen wisteria as well. It's probably my favorite vine (gorgeous wine flower color) but it can sure take over if you're not paying attention :)

vwtx, I have one but it never goes anywhere. It has stayed on the obelisk and looks beautiful

What exactly does yours do and what is the growing condition, so I don't do that, lol just kidding
Do you mean it has just gotten huge?

Thank you for your response

My last home had a small 12x12 patio that we built a gazebo type cover over and put a long flagstone bed in on one side. The bed was about 3' front to back, 2' high and 12' long. I planted one in there hoping it would create privacy on the side next to the neighbors house. In a couple of years it almost swallowed the patio cover and I had to prune it regularly just to keep it in bounds. A few times it tried to reach for the fence between my house and the neighbors. I swear, it had a mind of it's own :) It had plenty of compost and mulch. Being in a flower bed, it got fertilized and watered with the flowers (all organic).
I now have two, one in a pot to keep it under control, and another next to a gazebo we built at our current home. The one by the gazebo is like yours, just doesn't seem to want to grow except for the occasional shoot. It's probably because that area just doesn't get much water.

Hmm, yours really liked it's growing area
Mine was grown from a seed that a GWer gave me a long time ago and it is big and beautiful and I love the flowers.
Maybe the gophers are keeping the roots pruned out here.
All in all I am very happy with the size
Thank you for the info and btw, I love your garden pics. It reminds me of how my GF's gardens were laid out

The evergreen wisteria I'm familiar with has a darker leaf and purple flowers. And gets enormous, but not as out of control like the others.
Tally Ho!

I have had two of these vines for about 4 years now. I bought them at Home Depot Landscape and mine are slow growing. It's because they're in a lot of shade. They're not evergreen here. One of my vines never blooms but the one out front blooms a little. They were labeled Summerwine. I was very surprised when I found mine blooming. I went out front and smelled something sweet and looked up and it was blooming like crazy.

I started some from some seed as well, wintersowed them last winter and they are still only about 3" tall. Hope they take off soon, the pic above and other pics I've see are beautiful!

Hey Jolana, when you were at the swap I didn't realize you live in Bastrop. This summer we discovered your Lost Pines (or should I say found your Lost Pines) this year and love that little town. We went twice to Bastrop Lake and used boats and jet skis. What a blast. I'm sure we'll go back. Also, meant to mention I have a daughter at school in Abilene. Little connections!

Tonya

Well, old pic, no plant, hehehehe
The person didn't know what it was, just a Wisteria, lol

Anyway, thank y'all.

Tally the leaves are darker on mine too but in the past I have seen them at the nurseries with lighter leaves, maybe the conditions.

Carol, yours is beautiful, I'm glad it is blooming for you
Mine blooms from late Spring and all summer

Tonya, I live in Bastrop county and and didn't you just love this area. I'm glad there was water in the lake, lol
We went through 2 yrs without a drop of rain

Which school, ACU, Hardin?
That is funny, lil connections
Holler if you ever head back

DH & I stopped in last weekend, Jolana, so reading your post was a shock. How could I have walked past an evergreen wisteria without swooping down on it? It was a relief to know it existed only in the photo... not on the lot!

They did have a nice purple shade of salvia greggii and lots of interesting stones, bricks and house salvage.

Annie, I know, lol
See if it had been there, you would've swooped and I would have lost out anyway, lol
I didn't have time to go through the house salvage but want to Friday when it is cooler, lol

Carolanne, that's the one I'm thinking of. It grows all over Moody Gardens and blooms a good portion of the year. It did survive Ike for the most part. Full sun. It's aggressive here but not nearly as bad as the others. Very easy from seeds.
Tally HO!

Jolana, DH & I have seen Evergreen wisteria over and over on garden tours and admired it - and liked how it looked on an arbor at the Smith & Hawken on North 183. We were already leaning toward getting one then the photos and comments pushed me over the edge. Found already standardized, 3-4 ft tall plants at Natural Gardener - had to buy one for the Secret Garden. Thanks!

Annie, now we have to have tea in your garden and the divas have to come to my house, LOL
I'm so glad you found one. You are going to love it, I promise
