Day 190: Unseasonally warm weather (read, "temperatures in the upper 80s") has brought several plants in my yard into early bloom, notably the red dogwood and wisteria. The latter was barely showing buds a week ago; today, a purple cascade tumbles down the east corner of my carport. In past years, this untidy, rampant vine has been a sporadic producer, generally showing less than a dozen clusters before its leaves emerge and dominate the display. I've pruned, and I've not pruned, learning in the process that the plant has a mind of its own. No measure on my part seems to make a difference to its behaviour, so other than taming it to prevent its invading the rafters, I'll allow it to have its run.
