Few plants give us what the Crape Myrtle does, a myriad of foliage colors in the spring, a virtual kaleidoscope of flower colors from summer into the fall, an array of fall leaf colors from all shades of red to golden yellows and purple, and finally (my favorite part, attractive exfoliating bark which becomes wonderfully apparent in the long shadows and low sun angle of winter.
I love the crepe myrtles as well John. We have a beautiful white one in our backyard and when it flowers in summer it looks like we've had a summer snow fall.
The ones in the garden at my former house downtown also had white blossoms, and on breezy summer days a shower of little white petals would float to the ground like snow. I know exactly what you’re talking about! :)
