A yard gift

Purple Crape Myrtle

This pretty crape myrtle was a gift from my aunt. It was living on my front porch and now it’s hanging out in the flower bed, still in its nursery pot, because I’ve been too lazy to dig a hole…

…partly because I know that digging this hole is going to be a huge pain in the behind, thanks to decades of roots and nasty hard clay soil.

    Although not the same plant, yellow loosetrife is related. I just have gathered all the roots I could find from across the garden and settled them along one wall.
