A mixed bag on the wisteria front. Those plants which were in exposed locations suffered a significant set-back from the frost in early April. In most cases they are having a go, and we will see some rare 'intermediary' blooms this year I suspect in late May, when the flowers are out with the smallest of the leaves.
In other, more sheltered areas, we have a good show - especially on the Casita (above) which is ready this weekend, and by the Loggia (below).
The ring of wisteria around the lily pond in the centre of the garden will need more sun to mature yet:
Free-standing forms in the upper terraces are coming on and are about a week away, given some warmth.
The weather has proved this year just how unpredictable things can be, with spring having arrived three weeks early on the average at Iford, and yet we are now looking at a late flowering of the wisteria! It is as though the late frosts and the drought sent everything into suspended animation for a month.
