The Chinese wisteria 'tree' is doing a nice summer bloom this year. This year has been a very weird one for it - the strange weather we've been having since early spring obviously confused it a lot. The leaves emerged about two weeks early in spring - and totally hid the spring flowers! So I've been hoping for a good summer bloom to make up for the lack of show in the spring. It has produced a nicer-than-usual summer bloom that is also weeks earlier than normal. The summer bloom usually is at its peak in late July but it is blooming nicely now. The flowers don't show up against the foliage very well in photos - it's much prettier in 'real life' :-) This picture is from early this morning:

Has anyone else had their wisterias perform strangely this year...?
