    The crape myrtle is blooming. Three out of the five that I bought three years ago are blooming now. Two others are still growing and are getting quite large.

    That butterfly was on the wrong zinnia, I think!

    Silly butterfly! :D
    My Crape Myrtles are also in bloom. I've been seeing a pretty dark red one that I might just have to get. :stew2:

    I find those crape myrtle's such lovely bushes. I wish that they could grow here.

    We almost lost our 6 plants from that last hard Winter. They all got new growth from the ground. Don't know if they will bloom this year but I know we are way behind everyone else in a normal growing year.

    I love, love, love seeing your flowers.
