Thank you Cheryl and Melissa. My problem is that these crepe myrtles are just a little too big for the space that we have. That's why I have been looking for the minis. There are two or three listed on the internet I like, but those prices are high and the plants are small; however, since it is doubtful that I could ever get them locally, this may be the way I have to go. The mini Mardi Gras and one called Cordon Bleu really appeal to me.
