hallelujah

after seven + years of patiently waiting, consulting many master gardeners, over watering, under watering, using different fertilizers, mulches, different pruning techniques, beating it with a baseball bat and shovel (on recommendation from a respected master gardener) and finally resigning to the fact that "maybe it just isn't a bloomer" and letting her be, the wisteria which wraps around the gazebo and arch walkway has decided to bloom and what a spectacular show! 

imagine having your ceremony inside the gazebo or what stunning bridal pictures could be captured here. 

all that waiting has been totally worth it!
