Ditto @EscondidoCal's comment about the color and the form. I love the frilly petals. This is a plant I don't see locally, alas. A wonderful banner.

Gorgeous Fleur. Is this a Myrtle tree or shrub?

@karmahappytoes,
You could be correct, since this is not from my garden, I was being presumptuous. I removed that part of the title. Thank you for taking notice and bringing it to my attention. Shrub or tree...? According to Google it is considered "a medium size shrub or a small tree."

Fleur, we have both a pink shrub and a red tree, that is why I asked. Do you have a photo of the whole plant?

Unfortunately I do not have a photo of the Crape Myrtle in its entirety. Sorry.
