Garden journal: The wisteria chronicles
Apr. 10th, 2013 05:11 pmDidn't I just say, a few days ago, that when we move I want to get a wisteria with lovely showy hybrid flower clusters, not the smallish things my vine produces?
Yes, I did, I'm sure of it. So why did I pick up three little wisteria seeds while cleaning on Sunday? And why did I scarify those seeds and put them in to soak? And why, oh, why, am I going to plant all three of them tomorrow? Because I'm a sucker for seedlings, that's why.
Maybe they won't come up. I haven't seen hide nor hair of any little Golden Rain Tree shoots -- fair enough, the seeds were left over from 2006. Nor have I seen any Liriope muscari, a famously touchy seed that I collected and then winter-sowed.
Nothing much to show from the garden, so: here, have a couple hippeastrum photos and a silly one from yesterday's bike ride:
Class of 2006, which I may pollinate with Michael Valentine
Does this hippeastrum look pregnant to you? It does to me
Poor little dragon. A pretty extreme punishment
for picking a few daffodils, don't you think?
