Paper Flowers

I have two fairly mature crepe myrtles growing in my garden; even though they grow only feet apart, one always blooms a week or two earlier than the other.





That is fine with me because I get to enjoy the frilly, crinkly almost paper-like and delicate blooms longer.

I have seen purple, white, deep rose and pink varieties of the crepe myrtle. 



Both of mine are pink.  They remind me of the pink Bazooka bubble gum bubbles of my youth.
