These amazing photographs, which look like a magnificent late evening sky with splashes of pink and purple, are actually pictures of Japan’s largest wisteria plant.

This plant, located in Ashikaga Flower Park in Japan, is definitely not the largest in the world, but it still comes in at a remarkable 1,990 square meters and dates back to around 1870. Even though wisterias look like trees, they’re actually vines. Because its vines have the potential to get very massive, this plant’s whole structure is held up on steel supports, allowing people to walk below its canopy and bask in the pink and purple light cast by its lovely hanging blossoms.
