I have three Crape Myrtles, and they are in full bloom here in the middle of August.
My Encore Azalea 'Autumn Royalty' is blooming a month early this year.

My Butterfly Bush, Buddleia, has plenty of visitors.
The Sulphur Butterflies prefer the Turk's Cap, Malvaviscus, aka Sleeping Hibiscus
And even the tiny Cypress Vine flowers are attracting pollinators!
Happy Garden Bloggers' Bloom Day!

Love the blooms. A few flowers I can't grow, too! Thanks for joining in for bloom day!
ReplyDeleteWhat pretty crape myrtle flowers. The butterfly bush is sure well-named!
ReplyDeleteMy heart leaped when I saw the crepe myrtle. As I always say, it's one bush I wish I could have here in upstate New York. Love both their flowers and their bark. Enjoyed your cypress vine, another plant I wish I could grow as I understand they are butterfly magnets.
ReplyDeleteAll so beautiful, Lea!
ReplyDeleteHello, Lea
ReplyDeleteI love the Crepe Myrtle, our is finally blooming. Pretty blooms and butterflies captures! Take care, enjoy your weekend!
I'm jealous of the crape myrtle and also wish my butterfly bush did as well in enticing visitors. Happy GBBD, Lea!
ReplyDeleteI have always wanted a Crape Myrtle and they do sell them out here but they seldom bloom here. Not hot enough or for a long period of time so WAH! So beautiful

Love those vibrant colours, Lea.
ReplyDeleteWe planted a crape myrtle about five years ago and finally it is big enough to bloom profusely. We are at the edge of their territory here; they like mild winters.
