THE CREPE MYRTLE BLOOMS ARE INSANE 🪻 Here in the Texas Hill Country, bluebonnets and other wildflowers get all the attention, followed by the big tooth maples in the fall. 🌳 But we’re here to tell you not to sleep on summer crepe myrtle season! I guess they’re not extra happy because of all the rain, because Boerne is an explosion of pink and red everywhere we go! It might be hot, but get outside and enjoy the color! 😊 #boerne #boernetx #texashillcountry #texassummer #crepemyrtle | The Boerne
