Wow is the only possible reaction and the second is "I wish I had her
patience"!

Mine was: If SWMBO would leave the secateurs alone, we might have a
wisteria like that one day.

When are wisteria supposed to flower? We have one that flowered at the
beginning of June and another that is in flower now.

May/June is right but they sometimes have a second and lighter
flowering later in the year.

True - my two "standards" are currently in lighter flowering state.

Ours is flowering again right now, pretty well too (though nothing like
the first time as you say!) It usually does go twice.

That is an admirable wisteria in the article!

Both are first flowerings. The one that is in flower now flowered in
May June last year.

Perhaps it didn't flower earlier because of the cold spring, or perhaps
any buds were hit by a frost? But August isn't the usual time for
Wisteria to flower for the first time. I know little about them but I
understand some native American Wisterias can bloom sporadically
throughout the summer and into September. Might you have one of those
if they were imported to some Dutch nurseries?

Perhaps except it flowered in May June last year. I blamed over
pruning.

Ah. Well, I'm staying out of that one!! ;-)
