Just to chime in, american species of wisteria -- w. frutescens and w. macrostachys -- flower at much younger ages than asian species, and frutescens will repeat bloom if it's cut back after the first flowering. They're both fragrant, perhaps less intense than some sinensis cultivars, but don't forget that asian wisteria can be very invasive and take over back yards if not carefully controlled. I'll post a pic of my 3 year old vine this weekend! Jim

I believe that it is of limited horticultural interest. Except to collectors. I recall seeing it offerred years ago by an eastern native plant retailer but not one on the net. Nice that you have it growing in your yard!! I am adding a link to native plant nurseries, some of which may offer it or at least some of the other species ?? Here is a link that might be useful: native plant nurseries

Oh yeah, I like that Dash and Albert rug, too. I saw it on another site and it said it was sold out, so good to know there's another resource! Brown definitely doesn't work, nor does white. Cream/ivory, yes, maybe, because my drapes are ivory. I actually just popped into Home Goods and found a rug that would work easily -- it's a shag type cream-colored rug with a dark gray diamond print -- but I didn't want to buy it just because it was a "bargain" and I am still thinking I want something with more color.

Ohhhh, I love every one of them! I spent a lot of time yesterday checking them all out and, sadly, they aren't going to work for me no matter how much I love them. They're either more than I want to spend, too pricey to have shipped here to New Mexico or to Oklahoma, already sold or for pick up only. So, moved on to Plan B: Compromise. I headed back out to other shops in my area this morning and found a compromise headboard for only $30. It's wicker instead of wood. While it's feminine, it doesn't have the beautiful detailing that the above headboards have. I bought it because it's clean and in great shape, the tall height will work really well with Emily's PBT bedding and many pillows . . . and I can spray paint it black for just a few dollars more. I'd found this inspiration pic, which gave me the idea that her many pillows might look best up against a taller, plainer, black headboard. Here's that pic: Here's her PBT(Pottery Barn Teen) comforter and sheet set, although DD now has a black netted bedskirt with hers: And here's my $30 bargain headboard, now waiting to be painted: It's propped up against her new (old) slant front desk, that will also be painted this Summer while she's home here. Oakley: last month she actually bought a dresser, nightstand and mirror at a consignment shop near the university. But she's not been able to find a decent desk or headboard she liked. I'm personally not crazy about the color of them or the minimal storage area of the dresser, but she loves them and it's her life and her room. Pics below: Being that she's inherited my decorating obsession (LOL), she already has a number of lamps and artwork for the walls, which also lean towards Tropical. Her new 32" tall mirror which she'll also be painting black: And her PBT curtains in Pool, will work well in her new place: I'll post After pics, but not until everything has been painted, transported to her new place in Norman and set up . . . which will be in late-July. In the mean time, thank you all for your time, efforts and ideas. I really appreciate it! Lynn
