Is this a Dynamite Crape Myrtle?

HI all,
I bought two Dynamite Crape Myrtles earlier this season and they've finally bloomed. However, they've bloomed in a decidedly pink purple color as seen in the pics.
Is this just the first year pinkish color that I've heard can happen, or a case of possible mislabeling? has anyone seen a Dynamite this hue before?

Unfortunately, the pictures aren't coming close to showing the almost deep purple of the blooms that are present in real life. But you can still pick up the pinkish hues.

Has anyone run into Dynamite trees this pink?

It looks way pinker than my Dynamites, and my Dynamites have distinctly bronze new foliage. Your photos look much more like my 'Tuscarora'.
