We noticed this magnificient crape myrtle as we were about to drive out of one of our favorite markets. It had been trimmed to expose the fire hydrant.
Crape myrtle varieties range from less than 3 feet tall shrubs and bushes to over 20 feet tall. They are in bloom everywhere around town and in the wine country. We have seen them mostly in red, shades of pink and purple!
Happy Wednesday!
Good morning! I love your crepe myrtle photo. That's the exact shade one of our mrytles was at our San Carlos house; the other was a very pale pink, and not nearly as appealing to me as this one.

Michael Jacobs my favorite types of photo ops. I am sure South Pasadena has a few crape myrtles around. A

I love crape myrtles. I had that color and purple ones as well. They do get real tall and full of blooms.

Hi Alexandra... that's the exact color of my crepe myrtle! Are you surprised knowing how much I like pink?

Nina Hollander I think of you every time I see pink anything. I have two hibiscus in that color, and a rose. I like the brighter pinks. A

Ron and Alexandra Seigel hi Alexandra... my crepe myrtles have always been a hot pink or white. And by the way, mine is doing fine and I don't speak to it! 
Sharon Lee I love the purple ones too. The Baker's Table when we have breakfast often has a gorgeous purple one. A
Sheri Sperry - MCNE® I assume they do well with the Sedona weather! Happy Wednesday. A

Crepe Myrtles always have a way of adding significant color to a landscape. That one is abundant with blossoms.
Hi Ron and Alexandra- we have crepe myrtle here but I have never seen one that big!!! How beautiful.
Crepe myrtles are so beautiful, and they seem to thrive almost anywhere. Nice photo.
Isn't that pretty? Love the little yellow fire hydrant peeking out at the base. Nice shot. D
