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 beauty of crape myrtles in bloom help assuage somewhat the fierce, furnace-like heat of this July
