When you add to your blog I can't wait to read it. I prefer "crepe" to "crape" myself, so what difference does it make, right?? Since I'm not Southern I guess I can spell it the way I want. Well, our city has planted the lovely trees all over and I truly love them. So many different colors too. The city will plant a tree for in your front yard, and this beauty is one of the trees. All these years and can't make up our mind, I worry about sewer lines, etc. but guess all I can do is ask about them. I'm so happy your little plant is starting to grow up and bloom.
