Collected crepe myrtle evolution

I definitely like the new angle!
After the latest prune, the primary branches look somewhat disproportionate to the trunk, so I would say next up will probably be building the branches?
I really want to see pictures of those New Orleans Myrtles now (here’s a good place to put your pix ;-)).

It’s a pretty big trunk, but despite that and even the deadwood carvings, it still feels very feminine, so I would tend to go for oval though maybe not too shallow. I could also see one of these pots that are basically rectangular with several turns in a corner. Whiteish/beige should go well with the trunk, makes the foliage pop and would give it a stark contrast for when it blooms. Or you could go for something with a bit of a copperish/pinkish tinge or pattern to complement the flowers.
What were your thoughts? Do you need to go shopping or do you already have a selection at home?
