Randall, it’s good to know that you are active again on WordPress. For several weeks I was out of touch with most because my email decided to send everything to the spam folder. I think things are back almost to normal now. Thank you for commenting, and I look forward to reading your posts and viewing your great photos.
Beautiful photos, Hien. I am so happy you have a photo of Crape Myrtle. I saw a lot of them in Maryland/Virginia. I think my neighbor had that in their yard when I grew up.
Have a wonderful evening.
Thank you Helen! Glad you like them. Crape Myrtle, at least in our area, is a mid to late summer bloomer, bringing with it nice colors when other flowers are past their prime.
Brilliant floral images,Hien!I particularly like Cosmos for its beauty and its very special name,and Marsh Mallow is sweeter than my favourite candies 🙂

Thanks, Hien. After reading your post, I googled and it won’t grow in our area ;-( Broke my heart.

That’s too bad, Helen. Come to think of it, our area is at or near the Northern limits for Crape Myrtle.
