Crepe myrtle flowering!

I was overjoyed to notice the crepe myrtle had flower buds yesterday, almost ready to open. This was so lovely to see, after the whole plant being just two sticks last winter!

I wondered what colour it would be - white or pink, as there were pink stripes on the buds. Turns out - I noticed the buds had opened this morning - it's white!

So pretty! I am thrilled - why be like everyone else with a pink or lilac one?! (I want those too!)
