I love this shrub. In lahore it blooms in extreme summer heat. I love the white color very much. I wish there would be a fragrant species of this genus :(

I too love this shrub/small tree. One of the very few plants which bloom profusely and for a long time in the high heat of summer.

By the same name i.e. lagerstroemia or song of india.. all the three colors are available at a nursery near Suleman plaza, if you are coming from Millenium mall and going towards NIPA roundabout, then it will be on your left side near the bridge..
