Proud Indians

'Pride of India' is the name for several flowering plants, I read. For us it's the crepe-myrtle (Lagerstroemia speciosa). It's a good year for the crepe myrtle trees of Sydney. There's a particularly good crop of the pink and purple late summer blooms around the streets.

And our own Prides of India in the front garden have finally come good after a slow start several years ago.
