I have been wondering why my crape myrtle didn't have many blooms on it this year,  it is shedding it's bark this year, the new bark is a cool orange color.  Tonight we went to dinner in West Ashley and the restaurant crape myrtles were shedding their bark too, and had no blooms either.... so I surmise that when the shed their bark, they don't produce flowers that Summer.
