Thoughts For Tuesday...Wonderful, Luscious Wisteria!

Wisteria sinensis
Chinese Wisteria.
A twining climber with pendent clusters of fragrant, lilac-blue pea-like flowers in late spring and early summer.

draping, dreamy, dropping, drooping, luscious, lazy, lovely, luxurious, lavendar

and then there's naughty!

"Violet lavender drug
slipping beneath my skin,
 shucking off the stale air

 of too long shut in,

 too long shut away

 whispering to me
 to breathe deep and be."

Now THIS is a WISTERIA in BLOOM!

Number 9 Number 9
Number 9 Number 9

YEARS!

That's how long I've been

trying to beg my very healthy

Wisteria to bloom...

give me a clue, a hint,

a reason,tell me it's over....

but I just don't understand

why this huge vine thing

won't get splendid hanging, draping,glorious blossoms!!!

And NO - I don't take it personally.

How does that Wisteria bloom!!!

promote peace on Earth

I have a wisteria vine growing on a trellis in full sun ( I live in Maryland) for 9 years. I've trimmed the vines, trimmed the leaves, snipped, clipped, hugged, fertilized, groomed, complained, begged - it's healthy as can be BUT IT WILL NOT BLOOM! Can someone please give me some idea why? Pretty please?
