A Very Southern Recruitment=A Very Carnation Recruitment!

My dad has a crepemyrtle in his yard in Maryland, so I know there is a variety that grows there.

Violetpretty, there are two types of crapemyrtles which will grow in the northern part of the South (which weather includes my part of the country), but I just can't think of the name. They are the dark pink variety, that I remember.


ETA: Both the Baton Rouge and Sacramento types of crape myrtle will grow in PA. They're both a deep red/fuschia shade.

I guess I have seen some grow in MD but the one in my yard is pathetic looking.

This is my third try trying to post updates, so this time it will be short and sweet.

Trojangal: fifth group shall be called Gardenia.
Sweet Tea is having a very good rush. She was invited back to all the parties at the first round of invites; she cut Gardenia. At the next round of cuts, she was invited back to all except Hydrangia. Today she attended skit parties of Azalea, Magnolia, and Crapemyrtle,and feels very lucky because there were some massive cuts made last night. If she gets back all 3 groups for prefs tomorrow, it could be a hard choice. Today was Skits Day and she loved the skits she saw. Tomorrow morning, she'll receive pref invitations and the parties are later in the day. Say a prayer!

And updates on a few other girls from the area:

"Lil' Lady" is also having a very good rush. She has been invited to the allotted number of parties each round. At first cuts, she cut CrapeMyrtle, and her second cut was Gardenia. She attended skit parties at Azalea, Magnolia, and Hydrangea. Tomorrow is pref!

Lil' Lady's friends: PNMFriend1 was cut from Azalea at first cuts; I don't know about other cuts nor other invites, but I do know she went to Magnolia's skit party today. PNMFriend1 and PNMFriend1 were cut from Azalea and Magnolia at first cuts. Again, I don't know about other cuts nor invites, but I do know they went to Hydrangea's skit party today.

More tomorrow!!

Saying a prayer for Sweet Tea, Lil Lady, and their friends!

If they get the bid they want, then that's what counts! Unless, of course, one's a sorority with colors you & I would both love!

[trojangal]

So, looking forward to updates...hope all the girls are doing well!

Update time!!!!!

Sweet Tea will be returning to Crapemyrtles and Magnolias for prefs! She went shopping last night for new heels to go with her pref dress. Parties will start around noon and go for an hour each and then the girls will rank their preferences. Bid Day tomorrow!

I have no updates as of yet on the other girls, but will post when I get them!
