Your crape myrtles are so vibrant and beautiful. I think I'd be smiling every time I looked at them. ..
One of my favorite blooming trees.. Crepe Myrtles. Wow those in the second and third photos are bursting with blooms. My grandparents had a few in their yard but didn't keep it cut back so it grew HUGE.. one of the largest I've ever seen. I prefer them cut back like those you have posted. Thanks for sharing their beauty. As I said earlier.. keeping you all in my prayers..God Bless!
Hugs,
Debbie
These are beautiful Crepe Myrtles, Susan!
Happy 4th Susan! Those blooming myrtles are gorgeous and so vibrant...just in time for the July summer season.

Mine haven't started to bloom so it's nice to enhoy yours.

Stunning blooms! And I wish you all the best, Susan.

The Crepe Myrtles are stunning! Grouped together like that really makes an impact when they bloom. So pretty!

BEAUTIFUL PINK TREES!!!
Hi Susan,
I hope your Mother in Law is on the mend. I love your trees, such amazing colour, I don't have any colour in my garden at all. Come and see what I have done with some very prickly thistle flowers which are the only things in my winter garden at the moment.
xxxxxxx and hugs Coty
Susan, I hope she feels better... And I hope she doesn't have to endure much pain from that fracture...
Sorry I didn't visit for a while, I took a little break. The fam summer schedule is tight!
Ooopps... I forgot to comment on your lovely, lovely trees. Their colors are just wonderful!
Oh my goodness! I will definately be praying for your mother-in-law!
Love the crape myrtles! Beautiful color!
Oh, how awful for her! Poor thing - will keep her in my thoughts and prayers - you too!
The crape myrtles are gorgeous! Love the last shot!
Good luck with everything!
Robin
Crepe myrtles look like crepe paper flowers bunched together.
Susan, this is terrible news. I do hope and pray that in days to come she'll cope well.
I love cerpe myrtles. I love it when they are grown like tree's and they make a canopy over you when you have a lot in a row. Very beautiful.
Wow I can't believe that happened! Hope everything is ok. Beautiful flowers :)
All the best,
Allison
Susan, I'm saying a prayer for you, your mil and the rest of your family. I'm so sorry this has happened. You still managed to post some gorgeous crepe myrtle. laurie
Sorry to hear about your MIL and hope she will be on the mend quickly.
Your Crape Myrtles are gorgeous! The drought here has caused all of our trees to look very pathetic this year, but one of them is finally starting to bloom.
Thanks for hosting OW with all you have going on you should have taken the time off!
Wonderful pictures. A delight to our eyes.
Alfazema
We have CREPE myrtles too. And they're blooming so heavily this year, the branches are bending.
My Wordful is all about something that was 'taken from our yard'. But at our request. Happy Wednesday to you.
Sorry to hear about your MIL. Hope she feels better soon. Take care!
Susan,
My MIL has a very small crepe myrtle trying to get started. It is nice to see what the potential of this little tree is.
Your photos are great.
Hope all slows down a bit for you.
Best wishes to your Mother-in-law that she would heal quickly and completely.
Becky K.
Your cape myrtle are beautiful! I'm so sorry to hear about your mil. I do hope all is well soon.

Susan,
May healing come soon,
Blessings,
Irene

I've never seen a beautiful myrtle tree, Thanks Sue for sharing. Happy outdoor.
Hope she's fine now.
Lovely, mine would love to have more water than it gets. We did get a little rain yesterday morning but always need more.
And the Rose of Sharon is so beautiful, too.
Thanks for sharing your blooms,
Candy
Take care!
Susan your Crepe Myrtle is simply exquisite. I have to get some for my yard. Gorgeous!
I was so sorry to hear about your MIL. That sounds painful. I'll keep her and your family in my prayers!

Blessings,
Sandra
Now those are so beautiful crape myrtles! I have a two foot tall one. I wish my drive was covered in these! They are so lovely!
I hope your Mother-in-law recovery goes well, I know you have to be busy taking care of her! I will say prayer for and for you!
Very sorry to hear about your MIL and I hope you are feeling better as well. I will keep you in my prayers.
I am sorry, but I messed up my link. Can you delete the first one that says 4th July Tribute? thank you Susan.
I love the crepe myrtle pics. Mine don't grow that great here in my neck of the woods, but they do grow a little...sometimes the winter gets them.
Hugs to you my friend.
Kristine
hope you are feeling better.
i love crepe mrytles, the blooms last so long, yours are beatiful
Best wishes to your MIL, Susan, and I hope you are feeling better this week too.
I love crepe myrtles but sadly they won't grow in the Midwest. They're beautiful.
Dear Susan,
My prayers are with your MIL...the bones just get so brittle the older we get
The crepe myrtles are glorious...so very beautiful...mine and the ones in the neighborhood are starting to bloom..that is a happy time for me.
thanks for hosting outdoor wednesday even when your life is so chaotic.

I'm so sorry to hear about you mother! My goodness girl, don't worry about us!
I hope that her recovery will be fast. Thanks for hosting! Your photos are great. Have a fun and safe 4th of July.
Susan,
I am so sorry about your MIL. I can say I truly know what she is going though as I did almost the same thing two years ago fracturing mine in 2 places. I pray she does well. It is amazing what they can do with a great surgeon. As of yesterday, mine still hasn't fused. But I am functioning and trying to stay positive.
Your crape myrtles are absolutley gorgeous! Just another treasure of the south!
Hugs and good luck this week!
Beth~♥
Oh wow.. I am post #100. Cool.
Love the crape myrtle -- that's my idea of pretty; lots of bloom!
Do they grow in the North?
I'm so sorry to hear about your mother-in-law. Getting older is tough. My best wishes to her, and to all the family at this tough time.
Cass
I love this "Outdoor Wed." Thanks for hosting....I can't believe your crape myrtles! Wow...haven't seen them that big before! I like how you've made them into a tree type hedge...very cool!
It's just not good Susan is it? I feel so sorry for your mother in law. So much trauma. I hope that you have recovered from your bout with the flu. The crepe Myrtle pictures are beautiful. I am thinking of you and hoping for the best.
XOSue
Your crepe myrtles are beautiful. They remind me of our trips every summer to NC. My mother has tried and tried to get one to grow, but we are just too far north :( It was great seeing all your sunshine too, it just keeps raining off and on here in PA. I guess you have to take the good with the bad :)
Thanks for hosting and sharing!
Crystal
Hi Susan,
Sorry to hear about your MIL. Hope she's feeling better soon. Your crepe myrtles are lovely! Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.
Blessings,
Sandi
very very pretty
very pretty I am also posting vacation pictures with pretty plants
So sorry about your mom in law. I love crape myrtles. They are so pretty.
Faithful lovely Sue mentioned you were making lemonade... so, I came by just to tell you I'm sending positive, uplifting thoughts and that I wish you and your family quick healing, strength, fortitude, and big hard hugs. xJ
Whoa, I didn't think i could post this week due to preparing for work to be done on my house. But here is a short intro. to a visit to a huge garden last Sunday.
Hi Susan, your crape myrtle pictures are so beautiful. We have two and I just love them.
Keeping you and your mother in law in thought and prayer.
Hugs, Barb
I hope your MIL recovers quickly. Let her know we are all thinking of her!
Love the pics of the crepe myrtle pics. Ours are no where near ready to bloom, which is fine as we have the dreaded Japanese beetles and they feast on the CMs when they bloom. Maybe the beetles will be declining by the time the flowers show up. :)
~~Rhonda
It would have to be impossible to be surrounded by such wonderful blooms and not feel good! Lovely pics.
Wow, the crepe myrtles are amazing. And they're still blooming this late in the year?
Hi Susan
I hope your mother in law is doing better. I love your pics, the blooms are beautiful.
You are in my thoughts...
Happy 4th of July
Judi
