Regarding the wisteria's reluctance to bloom: I have read that they need to be stressed, and more than source recommended beating it with chains to get it started. Some swore by this treatment. Someone else used the string trimmer. You've waited a long time.Barbee'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11316077390373348067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-28773059399249627352011-10-30T10:33:17.107-04:002011-10-30T10:33:17.107-04:00Hi Lona,

The snow on the east coast makes me think our winter may be like last winter. If so, we will need to see beautiful garden pictures.

Perhaps it is because fall is the time that you plant spring bulbs.You have such a lovely array of spring bloomers in this post. The Leonard Messell Loebner Magnolia and the pretty purple locust caught my eye especially.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00116583212813729057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-23953885752618782042011-10-29T00:57:36.136-04:002011-10-29T00:57:36.136-04:00Lona, thank you for the break from ripping everyth...Lona, thank you for the break from ripping everything out to seeing images of the spring to come. I needed this boost today. I wish I could grow wisteria. I want to make a stained glass lamp of it and yet have never seen one in bloom, which makes it rather hard to duplicate the flowers with any accuracy, lol.<br /><br />And thank you for the information on the kerria japonica...I have that plant in my garden and never knew what it was! Now I do. <br /><br />Thank you, Lona.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368318730124533690noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-56372543617902386232011-10-28T18:52:05.099-04:002011-10-28T18:52:05.099-04:00Looks like a early winter ,so your photo's wil...Looks like a early winter ,so your photo's will be something to look forward to.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17862394699499538591noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3702367777217796558.post-51471545119928547452011-10-28T16:25:02.390-04:002011-10-28T16:25:02.390-04:00This is soooo just the opposite of my 27 degree fr...This is soooo just the opposite of my 27 degree frost bitten gardens right now.
