Nice to have this splash of color in the yard.

Nice colour. I find them interesting with the six "petals" arranged symetrically around the centre. Ours (pink and white varieties) have no leaves right now.

Nice photo. Many crepe myrtles are in bloom now in Arkansas. The ones in my yard will not bloom until late August.

It is indeed a "nice splash of color" ..or "colour" , depending where you are from!!

Very prettily captured.

Thank you all for your kind comments. Just like how you spell color/colour, I wonder whether you call these crape myrtles or crepe myrtles depends on where you are. I was going to use 'crepe' in the title of this post, but Wikipedia seemed to indicate 'crape' was a bit more common. Not that it matters.

Beautiful colors. Crape Myrtles are gorgeous trees. Here in Texas they are blooming everywhere right now.
