Crape Myrtle Watch, 080709

I decided not to do another crape myrtle update until something started to Happen.

Today, I notice, something has.


See if you can spot it. Here's "New Orleans" No. 1 . . .

And "New Orleans" No. 2 . . .

And the "Pixie White" . . .

And the "Bayou Marie" (which is supposed to be the biggest, so how come it's the wimpiest of the lot?) . . .

Did ya spot it? Look back at "New Orleans" No. 2 . . .

It's got buds!!

So does the No. 1, for that matter. But not so many.

In a few days I'll be able to see if the grower labelled them right. I really hope both those N.O.s come out purple. It'd be so tedious to have to complain . . .
