All Grown Up

It's hard to believe that both of our crap myrtles fit in the back of my Camry wagon nine years ago.

Butt Hollow = Death Valley for a lot of flora, but these things have thrived. They're an odd couple, the tall, thin Potomac eclipsed by its flashy, voluptuous sister, Muskogee, which decided to bloom strangely early this year:


If you look closely, you can see the Potomac standing demurely (and greenly) back, like Wendy and Carnie Wilson sharing a stage.
