Crepe Myrtles aren't as dramatic as Tabebuias, but they can add some lilac to your life and they can handle a frost.Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-20080460061418018002011-05-26T18:24:52.326-04:002011-05-26T18:24:52.326-04:00LOVE, LOVE your colour style spelled with a 'u...LOVE, LOVE your colour style spelled with a 'u'. :) -Brenda mrsben-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-86748056319421175642011-05-26T09:09:51.604-04:002011-05-26T09:09:51.604-04:00The Tabebuia intrigued me, but apparently it won&#...The Tabebuia intrigued me, but apparently it won't take the light frosts we get here, and grows too big for any position I could give it.

There are white tulips at the store near my house, and I want some so badly everytime I'm there. I love that creamy white colour that they come in.. <br /><br />I had a new tattoo done last week, and I found myself staring at a bottle of tattoo ink on the shelf that was the same colour as the turquoise stone jewelry that my Nana wears. I could NOT stop thinking about what work I could have done just so that I could have that colour in my skin.<br /><br />As well.. the lilacs are blooming here currently. And along the route that I walk to work there must be 50 lilac bushes in white, lavender, and that gorgeous dark purple. Between the colours and the scent of them, I'm giddy for the whole walk everyday.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing all those gorgeous pictures :)Nimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12312747104116687193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-15021785428579802162011-05-24T17:39:26.300-04:002011-05-24T17:39:26.300-04:00I love it!!!I love it!!!Bridget Willardhttp://www.twitter.com/rigginsconstnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-71973365528160299932011-05-24T15:55:05.218-04:002011-05-24T15:55:05.218-04:00Thanks Raina!Thanks Raina!Paul Anaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05777487147630173644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-34831743475213326172011-05-24T15:53:21.369-04:002011-05-24T15:53:21.369-04:00An absolutely stunning post, Sir!An absolutely stunning post, Sir!Raina Coxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01095323923070587294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2143843667296816868.post-46757326568943214812011-05-24T14:22:00.352-04:002011-05-24T14:22:00.352-04:00Rufus: It's always my pleasure to confirm your...Rufus: It's always my pleasure to confirm your normalcy.

The variety of texture/color combinations in tree bark.<br /><br />You have me dreaming again.
