Crepe Myrtle January 2024

Is this an unexpected bonus of Climate Change? Our Crepe Myrtle has never been as showy in the seven years this young tree has been in our care.  We gave it an extra hard prune but perhaps it was all that rain (and floods) this past year that has been to its liking. We usually have it much drier especially in the warmer months. 

I've now drawn this tree in our garden five times in different seasons! This latest was sketched through our study window on a hot sunny afternoon.
