A pretty Southern town in the Heat, and OH so GREEN

[Mira]

I was out this morning in a neighboring town, raising some cain at a rally for Virginia Foxx my representative in Congress, God forbid, but it is true.

1. Yep...lots and lots of green there.

And those crappy myrtles are huge and evidently well pruned! :hi:

4. Hey HW, NOT CRAPPY!!!

Hoped for years to get one at my house; no luck! Moved out!

LOVE their long blooming season! and these here are HUGE!

5. We rounded the corner to our parking lot, and there they were, we said a big

collective "W O W"
Our area turns even more beautiful when the Crepe Myrtles bloom, like now, but these two specimens were amazing.
I posted a picture of them with some houses in the background to give them credit for their size.

6. It's a joke...kinda like frash aigs.

It was from a mis-spelling on a tag I saw on a pot somewhere selling them.

I thought they were really pretty when I first moved south, and some still really are, particularly the very purple and the deep, deep reds, but they are so ubiquitous down here that they get boring after a while unless they are pruned properly like the ones in the pic.

Mira's are really beautiful, tho.

7. Not ubiquitous enough around here for me, HW!

AND I'm moving north-ish; HOPE I'll see them in hagerstown, md! And you're not south, fyi! You're WEST!!!!

I too have 'special' colors, and I agree with yours!!!

:hi:

8. Considering where I came from

this is south to me. LOL And they are everywhere you care to look down here. :hi:

2. Oh Mira...you got pics of everything in my yard.

The crepe myrtles ( but mine are not as big -yet). Those are gorgeous.
and the privet and ivy ( mine are not as neat)
and the magnolia -very nice shot of that, btw
and the Golden Retriever which IS the same color as mine.
Oh--the mown lawn...nope, ours needs mowing after a week of rain.

Very fine pics.
:hi:

3. looks like our neighborhood, too

Except, of all things, I have crabgrass in my front yard. Must get out and mow. Maybe I should snap a picture first, LOL.

Our ivy is driving me nuts!

Crepe myrtles are faves of mine.
