Crepe Myrtle

One of the crepe myrtle trees outside the office. When I lived in Norfolk, I lived in this cool older neighborhood that was big old houses intermingled with brownstone apartment buildings. Colonial Place and all the street names were of the 13 original colonies. I had a kickass two bedroom apartment. It was old, super hot in the summer and super cold in the winter, with a scary ass basement, but I loved it. Anyway, crepe myrtle trees lined the streets of Colonial Place. I never knew what kind of trees they were until my mom came to visit and she mentioned it. And they're all over the place in Northern Va.
