Do you know?

We have a beautiful tree in our front yard that is now covered in flowers and we are wondering if anyone knows what it is?  Mom has nic named it the snowball tree and the flowers look like big old snowballs.

  1. It is beautiful and it looks like a white crype myrtle tree. They do not get very tall and grow all over the south.

  2. I don't know if they grow in florida, but maybe its a peegee hydrangea? We have one and the white flowers eventually turn a gorgeous pink.

    It's beautiful!

  15. It's a Crepe Myrtle. We have a pink one and a red one in our yard. Ours hasn't started to bloom yet but it's green at least so pretty soon. They look like bare sticks during the winter months.

    If the bark is smooth, light coloured and sort of silky (I can't see here), then I agree with first comment - crepe myrtle; though am used to seeing the purple and pink variations in and around Sydney I know that there are white varieties and that flower is pretty much it. Very lovely!!! hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx

  26. Haha yes it's a crape myrtle! They are gorgeous and come in purple pink, and red too. I love ours (red) because they bloom late in the season, after most of the spring blooms are gone. They are everywhere in the South and now I'll bet you'll start seeing them all over the place :)
