It's Alive!

Wisteria blossoms

Our wisteria vine has revived and there is photographic evidence to prove it - If you look hard enough at the picture, you can see some anemic blossoms hanging on the ends of the dry twigs above the pergola.  Kirk has been telling me that something is happening up there and I finally got up on a chair to take a look yesterday afternoon.  Lo and behold there were flowers indeed, which Kirk didn't see just a couple of days before.  The tired, decrepit vine finally woke up from its long hibernation.  Maybe our gentle prodding did have some effect, after all.  All the green you see in the photo is from the tall trees above the vine, not from the vine itself.  However, this morning it is clear, from what we saw with the binoculars from the kitchen window, that leaves are coming out as well.
