    Last fall I bought 5 little crape myrtle trees from a yard sale. This was the last one to get leaves. I almost pulled it up. It's about two feet tall now and getting white flowers. I should have pulled the weeds before I took the picture. It is at the edge of the garden so you can see tomato plants behind it.

    Aren't you glad you were patient and let the white crepe myrtle develop at its own pace! That is a lovely little shrub.
