It's become a bit of an obsession that accerated several years ago when we had pines and oaks removed for various reasons. Central Florida, so nice long growing season. 😀

We had started watering our -300 year old tulip poplar with the hose - so doing a happy dance with this recent storm

She was pointing to the yard next to us and, lo and behold, the man who lives next door to the restaurant has a gorgeous, huge crepe myrtle in full bloom. I dont think Ive ever seen one that tall! Such a lovely color.
