Image #80 – Carolina Crepe Myrtles

The Carolina Crepe Myrtles are in bloom. They dot the landscape, rising to heights of 13-15 feet.  They are lean, quite different from the shorter, bushy-style crepe myrtles I’m accustomed to in Florida.  The hot pink color of the Carolina myrtles is also very different from the soft pink and white flowers that you see in Florida.  Either one is fine with me. They both have beautiful flowers that last a long time. ☙
