After a very dry January - we've only had 9 mm (or a little over a third of an inch) - much of the garden is looking a little sad. The grass is turning yellowish, some shrubs like the hydrangeas have flowers turning up their toes, and the roses are almost flowerless. However, one shrub, or rather mini-tree, seemingly enjoying the conditions is our crepe myrtle. Have a look at these pictures: the whole tree covered in a mass of delicate flowers shown in the second one.
The sky was a dark grey just before it started to rain and I noticed this morning that the overnight rain at dislodged quite a few of the flowers. Still, the rain is necessary - we can't have it both ways.
