We were re-landscaping our entire back yard and bought two bright pink ""Arapahoe"" crape myrtles from HGC on Katy Freeway early last spring.\r
\r
The trees went in well but didn't bloom like everyone else's here in S.Katy. We figured that perhaps they were in some sort of shock and perhaps we would see flowers next year. Foliage looked fine.\r
\r
While recently driving on Grnd Prkwy I saw the city's Nachez (sparse white) crape myrtles beginning to bloom and the foliage looked identical to ours... While outside the other night I see that indeed our trees are not what we purchased, they are very undramatic white trees. HGC probably couldn't sell this undesirable inventory and put desirable ""Arapahoe"" tags on these trees. \r
\r
I still can't find anyone at HGC who speaks English except for ""All sales final""!! \r

Bottom Line: Their stuff is cheap and you get what you pay for. NEVER buy anything that isn't flowering because you have no idea what you are getting.
