Crepe Myrtle

Post by cottie »

I found this crepe myrtle in the clearance section of a local nursery back in March. The trunk is 85mm thick and it was only $20 so I bought it to play with, I know that it has along way to go

It seems that it has taken forever for the flowers to open. The nursery couldn't tell me what colour the flowers were, so it's been a waiting game.

Nice, you don't see too many white ones in this area so that will be a feature for you.
