It finally rained! Not much...but enough to cause the crape myrtle branches to droop a bit. These medium-pink blossoms are nearing full bloom. The deep pink blossoms on our other bush will bloom in July.
Thank you all for visiting. Steve, about whether or not to cut crape myrtle back. Go ahead! We cut this one to the ground years ago when our oak shaded it out. We didn't dream it would come back, but it did, then flourished after we had to cut the oak down.
They are a magnificent tree. Enjoy the winter sun in Sydney! http://sydneynearlydailyphot.blogspot.com/

A week of wonderful photos! Selma looks like such a quaint old place.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful tree. I don't have one yet...but it is on my list.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit on the Ajaccio dp !!
ReplyDeleteI love crape myrtles. Alway a fight in the family, though, about whether you're supposed to cut them back.
