Lagerstroemia indica

Lagerstroemia indica, commonly known as crape myrtle, is a deciduous to semi-evergreen tree or large shrub native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. It is renowned for its vibrant, long-lasting flowers that bloom in summer and autumn, with crinkled petals in shades of purple, red, pink, or white, and distinctive fluted, mottled bark that sheds throughout the year.
