I went to the database and searched for Lagerstroemia indica as well as "Crape" Myrtle and "Crepe" Myrtle but I couldn't for the life of me find the Parent Plant listing. I knew I had uploaded images to the database but I don't know the cultivars of any of the ones we have so I've just uploaded them to the parent plant entry. I'm getting old but
finally
figured out to go to my profile page and search through my photo's to get to the listing!
What I discovered is, to find the parent plant in the Database Browse and Search field you have to type in Crepe Myrtles (plural).
The Crepe Myrtles Database
I'm also wondering about the correct spelling of the common name for this tree. For as long as I can remember I spelled the name Crepe Myrtle but changed when a few people were adamant that I was spelling it wrong, saying that it should be spelled Crape Myrtle. I found the ITIS site a couple of years ago and they list the common name as one word spelled, crapemyrtle so I've changed my photo file folder name to the single word with that spelling.
