Hello, I got these wisteria seeds from a friend last year and I planted them, but she forgot to tell me what species of wisteria they were. They're supposed to be white flowering. Can somebody show me some pictures of the leaves of the most common species to help me identify the one I have??

Perennialfan,
Most wisteria leaves are identical. Every variety.
Some wisteria vines grow differently, I think the japanese will twine clockwise, and the chinese counter clockwise.
You will not really know until it flowers, which will probably be in 8-10 years.
That is why most people don't grow them from seed.
But, if you are a patient person, when it blooms, you will know better what variety you have.
Personally, I would buy one that is already flowering at a nursery, they aren't expensive at all.

8-10 years is a conservative estimate.....it can be as long as 20, but 10-15 years before flowering for seed grown wisteria is pretty common. It is quite easy to grow from seed......you just need to have a good deal of patience if the flowers are your primary objective :-)

Spiders have egg sacks, do you have any oak trees near your mail box? My old place used to have one and these giant polyphemus moths would come and lay eggs that looked alot like that on our boat (which was parked under the tree)

It feels and sounds like porcelain. It makes that lovely porcelain sound. It belonged to my dear Mother in law and she collected lot's of asian pieces. When I say "lots of asian" I can tell you everything they owned is asian or asian inspired and (Lord rest her soul) I've been selling this stuff for months! As for the 4.99 starting bid, from my experience on ebay I have learned: perceived value and actual value are two different birds. We may perceive something as valueable, ie, the age, the quality, the make, but ultimately the market will determine it's current value, BUT only if it's listed correctly! In the world of ebay, listing is everything!!

Some of our street trees do thrive in the most unpromising locations. Having ample rain probably helps. Here are a few I showed a while back: Aesculus hippocastanum. Platanus Acer negundo
