Wisteria Close

I am no gardener, as you know.  But I do love flowers and thanks to the lovely, calamitous and very entertaining ladies of Wisteria Lane, I became familiar with the equally lovely, Wisteria plant. 

B gave me an I.O.U. for a bush/plant for my birthday of 2011.  Quite far into 2012, I told B that I'd quite like a Wisteria and lo and behold, that's what I got this August.

It's in it's pot and it's about 2 feet high, and just green and I love it.  I can't wait to see it flower... if I can keep it alive for that long.  I'm not sure where to put it and I'm worried about making the wrong decision.  I hope it will be happy on my patio.

Since I first wrote this... about 12 hours ago, it's taken a turn for the worst.  It's been so rainy, and it looked so robust, I didn't think it would need to be watered, but as I peered out of the patio window yesterday, it looked slightly withered and on closer inspection, the leaves were dry.  I watered with two large jugs of aqua last night and one this morning, and it looks as though it's 95% recovered.  Can't believe I came this close to killing it... this soon.

Anyway, it looks like this for now,









Eventually, I'm hoping it looks like this;

 
 


Pretty huh?  Watch this space x
