Full bloom

My Crape Myrtle trees are in full bloom. Beautiful, arent' they? Well, they have started dropping those beautiful blooms and my ground is COVERED which means I'm out every day blowing the damn things out of the rocks. Why is there always a down side to the up side????

Came back for the right pic and it's sure worth it. Beautiful.

How very pretty! I always loved the crape myrtles in my yard in FL, but in the last few years of traveling, was rarely there to see them.

I love them too. I like that yours have been trimmed to make trees.

I love the Crape Myrtles too but they won't grow in my yard - coastal CA. Yours are just gorgeous!

I love the various shades of pink. The purple ones in my back yard are in full bloom as well. The blossoms just fall into the garden bed, so I get to enjoy their beauty with little work :D

I love my crepe myrtles when they are blooming, I don't like having to trim all the little suckers that keep cropping up at the base. And I don't like all the ones that end up in my flower bed when I'm not looking.
