Chinese Wisteria & lilacs

Chinese Wisteria! The fragrance in the evening is unbelievable! My Arizona room is like an angels haven! The tree next to the Wisteria is a Plume tree and its fragrance when in bloom is another mixture of fragrance notes that heaven has sent to me. This particular vine when we moved into this home was already in a very poor sight, as the previous home owners had cut the vine level with the ground. As the stock of the plant was as thick as a fist, I knew it just needed some luv and lots of water...For over 6 years year end and year out it gave me stunning foliage....But! not one floral bloom. Two years ago a girl on line told me to go and start hacking down the foliage and talk as mean to this vine as I could telling the vine that if it did not give me a bloom...well, it had seen its last summer!
I went out and I really laid on the harsh words as I cut and trimmed this vine back to almost nothing....The next spring I was rewarded with a few short fonds but could tell it was really trying, I again come this fall cut down and told this vine that it had to do better, the neighbor on the other side was also hacking as it was trying to grow away from my harshness over and into his roof! lol, SO Rich let this vine have it from his side....Well, as you can see the poor beautiful Chinese Wisteria just decided to cooperate this year and the fragrance and beauty of this years blooms is totally unbelievable! I have loads of other tails regarding my gardens, the lilac blooms are another story, as Mike my hubby sent away for a lilac bush many years ago, It came in a 3X6 envelope....a stick....The blooms you see pictured took about 10 years but this year the color and beauty have rewarded me from this little stick. I await the lavenders to appear, as they are from seeds...the most prized of my lavenders is a White Lavender....Will show picture rs when she is in bloom.
