Oh and Bark Too


On a sunny, somewhat blustery day in winter, here's to some good-looking bark to lay eyes on. I'm kind of in love with the bark of a good Crepe Myrtle (Lagerstroemia), big or small. (Below, a Bonsai version seen at Longwood Gardens. Man, if you really like a certain tree, does it ever blow you mind to see it as a Bonsai) There's something about that bark that makes me want to lay hands on it.

I did not yet. But I will definitely take a gander. Those trees are unreal! (do not get jealous, but i lived for some years on Oahu and while I wish now that I had been a garden freak in those days, I very well remember the amazing color in the bark of those trees.)
