The festival has drawn 10,000 visitors in years past, all eager to feast their eyes on the lavender-blossom-laden boughs of this historic flora. The vine was first planted in 1894 by William and Alice Brugman, and today holds the record for the "World's Largest Blossoming Plant."
The Sierra Madre Post Office will also be offering a special on Sunday at the festival, and for 30 days after upon request.
Shuttle tickets for the event are limited, and attendees are advised to purchase theirs in advance from www.wistariatickets.com
