  1. This stunning #crapeMyrtle brightens an otherwise vacant lot. From the shape, it appears someone may still be maintaining it.

    I enjoyed walking these blocks today. Great people and so many brilliant things to see in the Mound. Never let anyone tell you #Memphis doesn’t matter.

    Senbon Tamajuken (千本玉壽軒) is one of only a few confectionery stores in Kyōto to use crape myrtle as inspiration🙌

  4. Crape myrtle is also called 'namakemono-no-ki' (怠け者の木 the 'lazy tree'), because it sheds its leaves earlier and grows them later than most deciduous trees.

    Flowers tumble down when the tree is shaken, so it's sometimes known as the 'ticklish tree' (笑いの木/くすぐりの木).

  5. Crape (also crepe) myrtle gets its name from the appearance of its flowers, which look very much like crepe paper.

    Blooming from mid-summer through to autumn, the flowers (commonly bright pink) are also known in Japan as 'hyakujitsukō' (百日紅 'red for 100 days').

  6. 🙊THE MONKEY'S SLIDE🛝

    At first glance the teahouse garden appears to be made up of mostly moss, pine and camellia...but if you look more closely the borders are packed thick with dozens of varieties of plants.

    One of the most beautiful at this time of year is the "Monkey's Slide".
