March 4: Crepe myrtle
A few days ago, I noticed the first leaves on the crepe myrtles!
I talked about crepe myrtles several times last summer and fall. They're shrubs or small trees (depending on how they're pruned) that have crinkly clumps of white or pink or fuschia or even lavender blooms all summer. They also produce spherical seed pods about the size of a marble. This spring, those seed pods are still on the trees, cracked open in four sections, while the little green leaves are starting to peek out.
