The brick red magic crape myrtle is a beautiful flowering shrub that is known for its stunning brick red blossoms. This variety of crape myrtle is prized for its vibrant color and ability to add a touch of drama to any landscape. The brick red magic crape myrtle is a deciduous shrub that can grow up to 10 feet tall, making it a great choice for borders, hedges, or as a standalone specimen. It has a compact and upright growth habit, which means it takes up less space in the garden and is less likely to outgrow its allocated area. This variety of crape myrtle blooms from mid-summer to early fall, producing clusters of vibrant brick red flowers. The blossoms are highly attractive to butterflies and bees, making it a great choice for pollinator-friendly gardens.
This Colorado State University and University of Colorado Boulder rivalry is seriously starting to get out of hand. Just last night while I was scrolling through the news, I learned of a case being made against a person in CAM the Ram’s office chanting, “Sko Buffs!”
They seem to have hacked into the shared calendar and scheduled a mandatory lunch at Half Fast Subs to ensure the building would only be staffed with the two most anxious guards at the exact moment they planned their attack.

When it comes to sports mascots in Colorado, we truly have some of the absolute best in the world. Let's start with the Denver Nuggets Super Mascot, Rocky! One of the most famous, and supposedly highest-paid mascots in the world.
Denver Nuggets Super Mascot Rocky
Rocky has been making me laugh since he debuted at McNichols Arena in the 90s. Next up, is Denver Broncos Mascot, Miles.

This high-energy Bronco is full of sass and attitude and we love it. Miles certainly adds to the special vibe felt at Mile High Stadium. What about Bernie from the Colorado Avalanche?
Colorado Avalance Mascot Bernie
This loveable and crazy St. Bernard is as Colorado as it gets. Avs Faithful loves them some Bernie! What about Northern Colorado's Own Slapshot from the Colorado Eagles?
Colorado Eagles Mascot Slapshot
Some in Northern Colorado, including myself, would call him iconic. For twenty years number double zero, Slapshot, has been entertaining Eagles Country, and the games just wouldn't be the same without him. Can't forget about the current NLL Champion Wooly, from the Colorado Mammoth.

Remember meeting Dinger for the very first time? How could we ever forget this moment?
Dinger, who's the sweetest most innocent looking of them all, was tackled by a fan while dancing on top of the Rockies dugout. Watch this video that @_coco0218 posted on Twitter.
My guy Dinger, just dancing away and living his best life, when a (presumably) intoxicated fan decided it was OK to hop up on the dugout and spear the poor dino! Maybe you're not a Dinger fan, those bitter people do exist, but he's essentially a player and you cannot lay hands on him. This right here is about as ridiculous as it gets and I hope this person is banned not just from Coors Field, but all sports venues in Colorado, and maybe the entire country. He certainly needs to be made an example of to discourage and show that these types of behaviors are never welcome at sporting events. Or anywhere for that matter. No word on if this individual was arrested, but I for one hope he's still sitting in jail. Go Rockies.
The leaves are a glossy dark green color, which provides a stunning contrast to the vibrant red blooms. In the fall, the foliage turns a rich shade of red, adding another layer of visual interest to the shrub. One of the reasons why the brick red magic crape myrtle is so popular among gardeners is its low maintenance requirements. This variety is highly tolerant of a wide range of soil types and is also relatively drought-tolerant once established. It is also resistant to many common pests and diseases, making it an easy choice for gardeners looking for a low-maintenance plant. To ensure the continued health and beauty of a brick red magic crape myrtle, it is important to provide it with full sun exposure and well-drained soil. Regular pruning in late winter or early spring can help maintain its shape and promote better flowering. This variety can also benefit from regular fertilization, preferably with a balanced slow-release fertilizer. In conclusion, the brick red magic crape myrtle is a stunning flowering shrub with vibrant brick red blossoms. It is easy to care for and can be a great addition to any garden or landscape, providing a burst of color and visual interest..
Reviews for "Brick Red Magic Crape Myrtle: The Star of Your Summer Garden"
- John Smith - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the brick red magic crape myrtle. The color was not as vibrant as I had hoped and it didn't really stand out in my garden. The blooms were also very small and sparse, which made it look quite underwhelming. I had heard great things about this variety, but I found it to be rather lackluster.
- Sarah Thompson - 1 star - I cannot recommend the brick red magic crape myrtle. The plant seemed weak and struggled to thrive in my garden. The leaves were often yellowing and the flowers didn't last very long. I was really hoping for a beautiful and vibrant addition to my outdoor space, but unfortunately, this was not it.
- Mark Davis - 2 stars - I bought the brick red magic crape myrtle with high hopes, but it just didn't live up to my expectations. The color was more of a dull red-brown rather than the vibrant brick red I was promised. The plant also didn't seem to grow very well and didn't produce as many flowers as I had hoped. Overall, I was disappointed with this variety and wouldn't purchase it again.
