The lower leafs look more oval

Well it's only wild speculation since it's not in bloom, but I think Home Depot used to sell both Pink Velour (hot pink flower) and Burgundy Cotton (white flower). Both have burgundy new foliage. So it could be one of those...or something else entirely!

Thanks for the reply Dave. That's pointed me in a good direction.

Here's the other one I bought. It's grown over a foot since I planted it in late May or early June. Also, on a tree like this does the trunk continue to grow taller or at this point it's just the branch that will be getting taller?
It's ready to explode! Want to make a guess what color the bloom will be? ;)

Close up

Mark,
That is what is great about buying something from HD and it isn't blooming yet.
You get pot luck.
You never know what you are going to get. LOL
Your myrtles look really good, you are taking good care of them.
Enjoy the pretty flowers, whatever color they are.

Thanks Butterfly4U,
I'm still a noob but I sort of knew what I was getting into buying the two unknowns from HD. That's why I've kept one potted ;)
The planted tree has begun to bloom today and it's pink! That's cool because my neighbor planted a white one last year, now I know I have one pink, and I planted a red rocket that I bought from Homestead Gardens which was much more expensive than these HD crapes. It will all look nice next year once they're all over the fence line. I'm hoping that this pink one will grow to 15 or so
