Lagerstroemia, also known as the crepe myrtle blooms all over my little town. You know it is Summer when the crepe myrtles are in full bloom.
They are so colorful ranging from purples to pinks to whites. There are no blues with this species.
The tree has long lasting color and is still colorful when other trees and flowers have no more blooms or are waning.
I feel like I have taken these trees for granted and just opened my eyes and really looked at how beautiful they are.
I love this red - I think the color is known as Cherry Dazzle.
Let me know how you feel about crepe myrtles and tell me what is
your favorite color.
Red is my favorite.
ReplyDeleteI have several fuchsia colored plants. Enjoying my yard a lot more since retirement. I have one new crape myrtle and two Althea's. These were rescued from a sure death at walmarts half price bin. They are doing well.
ReplyDeleteTerri my favorite is also red. Isn't it funny how retirement leads to the garden. Thanks for visiting the blog and for saving those Wal-Mart plants!
