Sky Watch #59

As always, I want to say thank you to the great team that brings us Sky Watch each Friday.

The weather we have had this year seems to have brought us a beautiful bumper crop of crepe myrtle this August. Here are a few that I have found in the neighborhood on a lovely, clear day with blue skies and sunshine.

Mystery Shrub

Good morning. Who can tell me what this shrub is please? It was outside a doctor's office. Saw it yesterday. Then I forgot to ask inside if anyone could name it for me. I'm sure I should know, but can't recall.


It looks very familiar. But the older I get, the more often I fail to remember the simplest things.

Found the answer, thanks to Garden Author and Country Girl. Crape Myrtle.
