So about every three days or so I weed out wisteria starts from underneath a crape myrtle in our courtyard. This tree is pretty stout and supports wisteria, trumpet vine, evergreen clematis and probably something else for all I know. The wisteria is a harbinger of spring and has already bloomed out. But, for two glorious weeks or so a massive pale purple cloud hovered above our courtyard and over the roof of our house and the sweet scent breezed down. Now dried petals snow down and the new tendrils whip out aloft. It is a fecund plant! And now all those seeds dropped from last year are pushing up. They'll keep growing and I'll keep weeding and we'll do the same dance next year.Tuesday, April 12, 2011
