Ruby Tuesday - Some Like it Hot

Most of the US is experiencing record high temperatures and Tulsa is right in the middle of it. While many flowers fade and wilt in this weather the Crepe Myrtle seems to like it. No rain? 105 degrees? No problem.

Leedslass said... [Reply to comment]: I was only once ever in a temperature of 104 degrees and that was in San Francisco. My husband and I fully expected an earthquake to occur as this was way over the top for our delicate English skins:-)

Nice crepe myrtle - not sure we have them over here.; Tuesday, July 24, 2012

I really like those with a deep watermelon hue to their blooms. Very nice Ruby Tuesday choice.; Tuesday, July 24, 2012
