    Well, I've been missing out! I have had a blue/purple Rose of Sharon and loved it, but I haven't even heard of the Crepe Myrtle. Those are really lovely, I can guess in a tree form that they would be stunning. Up in Washington, in the Olympic Rainforest they have a small Rhodadendron forest, Rhodies in every color of the rainbow that have grown up into huge trees. I've never seen it, but my father has and he told me all about it. Something else on my wish list, of things to see and do. I LOVE flowers. I need to post an album of my flowers to share, they are many more than the quilts I have made to date! Lol.

    Jean - those are gorgeous. I have some in my yard that have literally become trees, mostly because I would never let my DH prune them. Everyone else's crepe myrtles have been and still are in bloom. Mine never bloom before mid August. Not sure why that happens. We get occasional freezes here but it has not harmed my crepe myrtles. Yours are truly beautiful. Enjoy them while they last!!
    these always bloomed late in summer also, but not this year. I guess it is just some quirk of nature, but I'll take it!

    Just gorgeous! There are a few around where I live and I just love seeing them in bloom.

    We have several that came from the Arbor Day Foundation stick bundles they send when you renew your membership. It just doesn't get hot enough for them to bloom here in Wash. I do like their shape so we have let them just be green shrubs with an airy nature. My grandparents in OK have some lovely ones.

    Miss Sheri, The rhodies are beautiful! Make sure you visit in the spring, as that is when most of them are in bloom. There are a few lovely places to stay out there. Let me know when you get to that section of your travel wish list, and I'll see what I can find for you. We've had some wonderful mini-vacations on the Olympic Peninsula.

    Someday. . . wishing it were sooner than later. . . because it is just one of the loveliest places on this beautiful earth, don't ya think?!
    My siblings and I used to roll down the car windows as we were crossing from Eastern Wa. to Western Wa. over Steven's Pass and "hand surf" ~ Just letting the silky feel of the air flow over our hands dipping and rising on the air as we entered the western side of the Cascades. I think I gained my love of flowers from the Rhodedendrons that grew in our yard when I was a little girl.

    Yes, we have three beautiful ones in the front yard that have been there for longer than I have been alive. Two dark pink and one white. Benign neglect is all they ever get, except pruned back when they get too out of hand. Love crape myrtles.
