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.
