Large Crepe Myrtle

[melbrackstone]

Thanks KCAR, the buds are scattered and not the standard bunches....I do have a CM in the ground that's completely covered in buds though, so yeah, it's going to happen earlier and earlier, I guess. Jacarandas around here are flowering from Sept lately! Thanks re the container. I still can't fit it into the bespoke Erin one....lol

That is great progress in a year or so and you should be very happy with the results so far. It is a much better bonsai now, your brave move to reduce the size has certainly paid off.
Please, a photo when in flower?

[melbrackstone]

Thanks Watto, yeah, I'm pleased that it's doing so well. Will definitely post a pic of the tree in flower.

It didn't flower much, but it's going a beautiful red for the Winter.

One of mine (the one from PeterB) flowered white this year and turned a fantastic colour. The other one pictured in this thread that turned out pink dropped all its leaves early before much colour.

Yeah, they're all over the place here too, some have dropped with little change, but those that still have leaves are all pretty brilliant red.

I love the white flowered ones.

I’ve been hanging out to find out for years what PeterB’s crepe colour was as he didn’t know. I wanted lilac but white is also good.

I'm lucky to have a lilac one as well, but I still prefer the white.

Your tree is really powering on MelB. Keep up the good work.
I really like the white ones too. Here is a close-up of my "Natchez white". The purest of white colours.
