Thanks for posting! I am amazed at the differences. I have read on this forum many times about changes that can occur from year to year, but the pictures really do tell the tale.

I have the feeling that you cut off the bloom possibilities when you cut it down last fall. The blooms on the native wisteria I have come from the places where there were leaves last year (I hope that makes sense), so if you cut off almost all of the branches/growth with leaves, there will be no blooms. Mine does throw out blooms a couple more times over the summer; not as huge a display as in the spring, but still, blooms are blooms. I'm sorry that you had to cut it down to save it, but it will make it up to you next year.

Lynwood is also native to Asia. Btw, I've always called them Lynwood Gold, because the nursery I got them from called them that, and so do apparently tens of thousands of other people online. I'm not going to rip them out and get hardier Forsythias though, because they've grown so tall in my yard, and appear to love it here. They just suck at blooming.

Thanks, Kate's. I will definitely get the pads for next washer. And will look into barn mats. Thanks We have two as well. Now the downstairs Duet sport is displaying "Sd" ...think pump needs to be cleaned... has never been done....why would they put behind panel needing to be lifted and Unscrewed! Never ends... may need TWO Washers!
