After a gloomy rainy start what a surprise find!!!!!!

despite correct pruning the wisteria, mine just refuses to flower. so lucky you.
If you are lucky you may get seeds on your acer. it'd be interesting to see what grows from them for variation in colour etc.

I havent seen any flowers on my Sango Kaku yet. They look very pretty!

Super little red flowers.

SB, it must be my lucky year as I have noticed that my wisteria in the front garden is just beginning to bloom for the 1st time, it was planted at the same time as this one.
Karen mine is 4yrs old so depending on how long you`ve had yours you may be lucky.
Thanks Siris.

Mine is older than that...I brought it from the last house. Maybe now its in the ground...time will tell.

I hope you get some nice flowers on your Wisteria :)
I've never seen my Acer flowering, but I keep cutting it back all the time.

That's all great news Stroller. Isn't it nice to get surprises?

Hi stroller, I have heard a couple of people say they have flowers on their acers this year, I have a few just on one branch of bloodgood, i remember it having some before quite a few years ago :-))

The flowers on the Acers along the road are very good this year. Perhaps they like a nice long cold period....unlike me!

Hi Hywel, you never know you may get some yet.
Yes Waddy lovely surprises.
Daylily glad your Bloodgood has got flowers even if they are only a few, my bloodgood has never flowered and its been in the garden since 2011.
Karen if that's what they like I don`t mind forgoing the flowers the cold weather seems never ending, its another really cold windy one today even my greenhouse visit was short and sweet.

I know Phyl. Its sunny here but freeeeezing! Far too cold to be outside. Just enjoying it from the safety of the armchair, and its been a good day for using to Pod too. I had a look at my Heucheras again today and a lot of them have had it. Not a sign of any growth on them. I shall be replacing them with more dwarf rhodies now. A trip to Glendoick tomorrow for me :)

the wisteria has been in the ground 20 yrs so its not recently planted!. :o(

I will enjoy the picures of yours :o)

Seaburn, we had a wisteria that never flowered so outed it and bought one in flower so we knew it wasn't a dud and it's been great.
We have flowers on a couple of acers too, never seen any flowers ever before!

How lovely to see two unexpected surprises,Stroller,and I love your Acer...we have had sunshine today,but it's still cold..I managed a little dead heading this morning,but I was soon back in the warmth ! so glad your Wisteria is looking promising since you moved it..it's good to take a chance sometimes :o)

Sb, will oblige with photos when the buds burst out.
Dawnsaunt ... This wisteria was planted in 2008 and I was fed up with waiting but am glad I chopped it short and replanted it as its now going to reward me, the other one in the front garden must have felt threatened as that is now in bud.lol.

I will be having a pink Wisteria in a pot very soon. My daughter is moving south. I shall probably get quite a few things from her before she leaves. But the Wisteria will be a challenge. I shall have to find enough shelter, sun and warmth for it...hmmmm....

So pleased that you found buds on your wisteria, a lovely surprise for you. The acer is very pretty too.
Pity the weather isn't a pleasant surprise at the moment!

That's going to be a challenge Karen hope it works out well, the one in my front garden which is in bud for the first time is a pink one Wisteria brachybotrys "Showa Beni".
Wildrose I think we are all getting more than a little fed up with the weather ... I don`t know why it is April after all so really we should be singing the praises of the odd few hot days we`ve had ... but then we are gardeners after all.lol.

Bloomer I`m like you popping in and out to do the odd job, never mind its May time tomorrow lets hope we get a few nice days shortly.

Supposed to be getting warmer towards the weekend,but I'm not getting my hopes up too much at the moment .!
