Crape Myrtle Watch 080514

Here's the Wednesday, May 14 update on the progress of the crape myrtles I put in last January. First, an overall shot:

Then one "New Orleans." This is actually the one closest to the (nonfunctioning) solar lamp.

The other "New Orleans" sounding a note:

"Pixie White" with its baby leaves:

"Bayou Marie" showing ruddy and coy:

"Velma's Royal Delight" has shown nary a leaf. Maybe if the temperatures would get above 60 degrees for two days running . . . ?
