We're nearing the end of summer, and many plants in the landscape are looking a little worn out. An exception is the crepe myrtle, also known as crape myrtle, which has been putting on a show for several weeks (especially in the hotter, inland regions of the East Bay). Enjoy this walk through several "pink tunnels" of crepe myrtle.
Crepe myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) does well in the heat, and the intense colors of its inflorescence stand out out in the bright, sunny days of summer. Possibly the deep watering from winter rains, and the triple-digit heat waves agree with it!
