Summer Crape Myrtle Blooms in Cheongju

Despite the recent heavy rain in Cheongju, beautiful summer flowers are beginning to bloom. The crape myrtle trees at the Cheongju Anglican Church, a famous spot for these flowers and designated as Chungbuk Tangible Cultural Property No. 149, are now adorned with lovely pink blossoms, creating a picturesque scene alongside the church building. Even after the torrential rain, the flowers have held strong, with minimal shedding. True to its other name, "Hundred Days Red," the crape myrtle blooms for about a hundred days, promising a prolonged display of beauty. Following the trumpet creeper, summer flowers are now in full bloom in Cheongju.
