Crape Myrtle, a bit less floriferous than last year, for some reason.
We are at the peak of hot, humid summertime in Virginia. My rule is not to try to do any real gardening in July and August, but I do keep up with watering annuals when I can. Otherwise, it’s HHH (hazy, hot and humid) and not fit out for man or beast. Lots of purple in the garden, but other colors, too.
