The hotter it gets here in summer, it seems the more vibrantly the crepe myrtles bloom.
At least they like the heat. I was struck by this scene outside the facility
where my mother lives. Crepes are nicely framing the gazebo in a lovely pink!
Connecting to Pink Saturdays at How Sweet the Sound.
Mine were late blooming, but now filled with lots of blooms.
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous! What a lovely spot and beautiful photo. Enjoy the weekend.
ReplyDeleteThey are something! Do they bloom all summer?
ReplyDeleteIt has the look of professional landscaping...very beautiful...on purpose,..but, I'm not against beauty! lol.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's because I'm trying to stay away from treats, but when I read the title of your post I was SURE that it was going to be all about Strawberry or Blueberry Crepes!
ReplyDeleteNever knew of crepe myrtles, but now that I do, I think they are so lovely, and perfect shade of pink....very nice capture....
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe crepe myrtles are amazing, aren't they? I always admire them in the Texas heat... they shine while other fade and wilt. Just gotta love that.

They are beautiful. Here in the south the hotter it gets the more they bloom and the darker the
ReplyDeletecolor of the flowers become.

I have to admit, like Pondside I was looking for something sweet Dotsie.
ReplyDeleteI wish we could grow these shrubs here, they are so pretty when in bloom. The view you captured is lovely.

I love a gazebo! Surrounded by flowers even more! Her in CA crepe myrtles are a common sight (because -as yo said - they like the heat!)
ReplyDeleteOh does this make me miss my Crepe Myrtles!
ReplyDeleteThe gazebo is so pretty and the Crepes. Mine are blooming now and they are so pretty.

I really love crepe myrtles! I was so impressed by them on my first visit to the south as a child, and wanted my parents to grow one. They don't survive with our harsh winters.
ReplyDeleteSpecial prayers going up for both of us tomorrow!
Beautiful crepes. When I read the title of your post, I was expecting something pancake-ish. How can you tell crepe myrtles don't grow here?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful gazebo with lovely flowers..
ReplyDeleteVisiting for PF- hope you can stop by..
