Here is a North Carolina standard, a red Crepe Myrtle. The flower heads can get so heavy that they bend their branch almost to the ground.

Thank you. We chose it to add a spark of contrast to all of the greenery around it. Red can have such a strong impact when not overdone.

Thank you. I use that shot in my rotating wallpaper so that I see it several times a day. The shot was from two years ago. The Crepe Myrtle won’t bloom this year until August.

Not really. My desert experience is mostly with cactus and lizards. Do you have a picture you can show me?
