When the crape myrtles are nearing the end of their bloom cycle, go ahead and trim them back. In a few weeks you'll have another full bloom cycle. Repeat and you should get at least three full bloom cycles out of them - the last one in fall. Those round things after they bloom are the seeds, and if you leave them on they'll bloom a little bit more, but it won't be a nice big bloom.
