Crepe Myrtle
Over the weekend I saw a lot of Crepe Myrtle in Memphis. I thought it only grew as a bush. Turns out there are several varieties and some are actually trees that grow 20 to 30 feet tall. The southern climate is perfect for them and the trees are everywhere, in shades of pink, purple and white.
The other bush that is in full bloom in my area right now (Planting zone six) is the Hibiscus. Last year was the first time I noticed them. I was confused by these bushes because the flowers look like Rose of Sharon flowers, which to my knowledge grow on tall stalks not bushes. I was both right and wrong. Same plant family, but definately a bush. They also are long bloomers and are shades of pink, purple and white.
