My daughter who live in Roanoke Va sent me this picture.  I am not sure.  It might be a bush or tree but she likes it.  She suggested a Lilac but I am not sure.

@bonnieluFrom the picture I see a lilac bush. It looks like the one in my backyard. It blooms only in the spring

That is a crape myrtle (Lagerstroemia indica) which would be in bloom right now and will flower for most of the summer.

Beautiful.. GOT TO GET ME ONE!  lol.  However in my back yard are ooodles of deer.  They eat everything else so why not these.  Thanks.

Yes, I totally agree with Gardensla. It is a crepe myrtle, and it is available in many beautiful colors.

I have white crepe myrtles lining my driveway and love them.  They're in full bloom right now.

Crape Myrtle

[aoldgirl]

This tree is a crape myrtle.  Comes in many colors,ie:  White, Red, Bright Pink, Lavender, and a Dark Purple.  Blooms early summer, and should be cut back hard in early spring, later winter.   She may want to check with her extenstion officer or better yet, her Lowes or home depot and read the tag on one of the trees for sale.   It doesn't do well north of the mason/dixon line.

Crepe myrtle tree or shrub. Depending on where you live they are hardy only to Hardiness Zone 6 (with winter protection there) to Hardiness Zone 11. New varieties push the Hardiness Zone to 7, they are among the last plants to leaf out in Zone 7. In Hardiness Zone 6 you will see a lot of winter dieback on this plant.
