The Crape Myrtle's are starting to Bloom... well at least this one just started. The others in the neighborhood have been blooming for some time now. The previous owner planted this crape myrtle bush... Unfortunately in a less then ideal area, But its nice to look at for now until it gets too big. Ill post a good picture of the whole bush once its in full swing.
Also I found a nice Volunteer in my backyard :D. I think they are black eyed susans ? The strange thing, this is growing in full shade ? Any who It sure was a nice surprise when I found it.
The Bad:
Ah the bad :(. *shakes fist at previous owner* The last Bradford pear in the front yard has finally fallen or at least 1/3 of it did the rest I brought down... with lots of hard work. Needless to say I was not thrilled about waking up to this today. When I looked out the window I was afraid it had squashed my new flower bed.... It was very close.
The good news is I got it all down, and on the street, but for now the yard looks like a war zone
The Ugly:
The ugly? well this weed is growing .... well like a weed in my backyard. it is so vigorous its almost become the only plant in the backyard. Does anyone perchance know what the weed is ? It has little pink flowers as you can see in the picture. I figured the flower picture might help someone Identify it ?
