These small trees are blooming all over my Florida neighborhood. Does anyone know their name?

They're so beautiful! Thanks.

Hi Joe. Crape myrtles are one of my favorites. Here is a great link to learn more about them. At the bottom of the attached article from UF they have an excellent list of the various varieties of crapes.

Specifically that looks just like a Tonto Crape Myrtle,...just planted one in my front yard 6 mos ago and have been getting WOW's since the red blooms came out. It could also be a Pink Velour Crape Myrtle also, as both have the red blooms, only the Tonto will grow a few feet taller. I also have a Muskogee Crape Myrtle in the prime front lawn spot, that guy will top out around 15 - 16 Ft.

Now have a total of 5 CR's,...easy maintenance,..minimal watering & fertilizing,..just what I was looking for as I get older ! LOL
