This morning as I looked out my window I noticed a spash of color on my grafted dwarf crepe myrtle. I thought a flower from a nearby bougainvillea had fallen and got caught in its branches. However as I got closer I noticed that a small cluster of flowers had bloomed on the little tree.

Blooms on grafted dwarf crepe myrtle

I suppose it is just giving me a sample of what it will do later this year.  The flowers are very delicate and don’t last long.  However against the grayish bark & dark green leaves the flowers just about leap off the picture.
