Triumph!!!!
This Wisteria is at least 12 years old. I got it a year or two after we moved here..and I've done EVERYthing to coax it to bloom. Every year.. lots of leaves, but no blooms. I got online, read everything I could on this plant and tried EVERYthing they suggested.. but still.. year after year.. no blooms. But.. today.. lo and behold, there are two bunches of flowers on it! I was thrilled!!
*laughs*
Mom had to come see them for herself.. she knew how much I'd fuss every spring when the blasted plant just hung there doing nothing... and vintage Mom.. says.. (while giving a hearty 'harumph') "Godamighty Juel... I can't believe you got so excited over two such scrawny blooms."
I did!! I did get very excited over these blooms.. granted.. they're VERY scrawny.. but.. *coughs* I've waited over a dozen years to see them!
*coughs again*
They are sorty scrawny aren't they...
