Who plants a Crepe Myrtle by their swimming pool? 😊

They are beautiful flowering trees, but oh my! The pool’s decking and waterfall catch every fallen blossom from this pink Myrtle.

Beautiful , just like confetti, pretty, floating on the pool !!! but oh ! no fun in cleaning it up daily !!

[Peter]

Lovely tones, textured and composition Lou Ann:)

[Joan Robillard]

Lovely as long as you don't have to clean it up

[Pyrrhula]

Even the fallen petails are beautiful.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

hahaha yeah not smart

[Denise Wood]

The pain with the beauty :)

[Taffy]

Sounds like a magnolia tree -- beautiful flowers and lots of mess afterwards. Pretty composition.

I am guessing you do? This is acrtually very pretty and when the wind blows I bet it looks like snow falling!

But the blossoms look so beautiful on the rocks!

[Babs]

Looks lovely but must be lots of work removing the flowers from the pool.

I don't know if there really is any easy to clean foliage you can plant by a pool! I remember my father-in-law had planted daylilies alongside a pool in hubby's backyard during our high school days and they were constantly cleaning out the petals from them. I hope it's not too much trouble to clean as I'm sure it looks really pretty!

[Valerie Chesney]

Makes for a gorgeous picture...but......................

[Milanie]

Particularly after any rain - oh, the petals! Like the petals and rocks colors together

[Santina]

beautiful image, I like all the petals on the rocks, it looks like a Japanese print, but it is really boring to have to clean it later

[Diana]

It looks lovely, pity it makes such a mess.

[Jacqueline]

But it looks so beautiful Lou Ann

[Pat Knowles]

I think the petals & blossom will look lovely on the water...bathing in petals would be rather exotic!

[Ron]

Doesn't it always seem that the prettiest trees make the biggest mess?

[CC Folk]

So pretty, even the fallen blooms. We only plant them on the lawn though. We were warned they could be messy on concrete, driveway or near pool.
