Wisteria anew

Stepping out into the back garden yesterday I noticed a splash of green among the otherwise bare vines of the Wisteria that graces the large, "dining room" trellis just outside the back door. The bloom has been small over the years we have lived here, but it is still wonderful to see the large, drooping, purple flower bracts when they arrive. The trellis is somewhat shaded and I am sure this has something to do with the below-average bloom.

I had meant to do a hard pruning on the wisteria, so I could do some repairs to the trellis that supports it, but, as sometimes happens, time ran away with my plans. I guess this project will have to wait until next Fall.

There is a host of wisteria information to be found over at Google.com.
