Blossom - Crepe Myrtle

As many of you know I don't post photos of flowers very often on 365, but when I saw this blossom on a bush a few days ago I thought I would post it in case anyone can identify the bush for me.

There are lots of this particular bush around at the moment and they look so colourful.

Maybe Julia will be able to identify it for me, she is the ace at recognising flowers. @julzmaioro

Thanks to Julia, she has identified it as a Crepe Myrtle. Thanks Julia, you are a star.

@julzmaioro Here you go Julia, a mystery for you, can you identify the flower on this bush for me please?

[julia]

Ha ha ... Crepe Myrtle... I hope you never ask me a curly one... come in several shades of pink .. they are lovely ..and great shot..

[Babs]

@julzmaioro Oh well done Julia. I knew you would be able to identify it, you are a genius. I am hopeless at naming flowers.

[julia]

I am proud to say it is one of the things that I inherited from my Mum she could just real the names off but she was better than me as she also know the botanical names ... not so good at that .. Happy to be of help..

[Ethel]

There are a few of these starting to flower in Melbourne. This is a pleasing capture of this beautiful bloom
Well done, Julz

[Loopy-Lou]

The Crepe Myrtles grow famously in Stanthorpe, not only are the flowers stunning but the trunk of the shrub is beautiful when the leaves and flowers are finished for the season :)

What a marvelous shade of pink.

It's so unusual looking and has that little star leaf in the midst of the pink. Very pretty.

[Helen Jane]

Not seeing many flowers here at the moment, so this one is welcome to make an entry. And what a big bold entry it is!

I loved the little golden star thingy too Marnie.

[Yao RL]

they look squashed.

[Sheralee S]

Lovely crepe myrtle Babs, we even have them up here.

[Sapphire]

lovely crepe myrtle, it would be a lovely addition to my garden. Is it a shrub or a tree?

[Babs]

@louisanoffke I think it is classed as a tree, but it is quite small, so a bit of a cross between a shrub and a tree in my mind. Maybe you could call it a trub, ha ha.

[Sapphire]

@onewing - bahaha, i could handle a few trub's in my garden then :P

[Stephanie]

Such a pretty pink colour, lovely.
