Go take a look at the gorgeous display of white Crepe Myrtles from the sidewalk on Chester Lake Rd. West and the corner of Vineyard Lake Rd.  This lovely oasis of trees was planted as part of the Garden Club tree sale. The sale is every two years and will be held again this fall (2010). Wow, what a beautiful sight!

Dr. Carlos and Aris Oteyza, 8226 Chester Lake Drive

This wonderful view is found at 8226 Chester Lake Dr. The home belongs to Dr. Carlos and Aris Oteyza, but it is the grandmother, Eleanor Simangan who is responsible for these beautiful amaryllis.  Looking similar to lilies, the amaryllis is a tropical bulb that is gaining popularity in Florida gardens.  It is native to South Africa and South America.  They have a range of colors from dark deep red to pure white.  We appreciate Eleanor for bringing these gorgeous flowers into Deercreek.
