well it's stopped raining so I went out and found one 4" high seedling under the tree that's sorta deep fuchsia in color. It's actually darker than my photo here makes it out to be (not a great photographer, sun was right on plant so it washed the color out). If you're still interested, let me know.

jeffrey i would love to trade...look at my trade list and let me know. yvonne

I have a dwarf crape myrtle that only grows 6 to 15 foot tall. It is named Prairie Lace. It has bright red flowers with white edge(picotee]. Maybe that is the one that you have. Or if yours is larger, it could be Queen's Lace, it is a medium height tree, that grows 15 to 25 feet. That also has red flowers that have a white picotee edge. I have about a half dozen named crape myrtles if you would like some seeds from them. Joyce

Hey Jeffrey, have you grown seeds from this crApe myrtle and seen the resulting flowers? Chances are nearly 100% that most, if not all, of the resulting plants will not bloom red. The reason I'm pointing this out is because you said you had found a "red-flowering cr(a)pe myrtle seed source", which sounds to me like you are saying the seeds will result in red-flowering crApes. All of the commercially available crApe myrtles, that bloom red, are reproduced vegetatively. Of course, as with all seeds, there's a chance that a seedling may turn out to be something truly wonderful and the next great cultivar.
