Field of Phlox

Here's my (seeming) field of phlox:

The phlox is only about 2x2 (big for a phlox plant but certainly not a meadow). It's only just starting to bloom. In a week or so, you won't be able to see the green for the little flowers. To wit:

  1. So lovely!

    My phlox drop their petals after a week or so and look BIZARRE afterwards. But gorgeous while they bloom.

  5. Sal: They do get spindly when the petals drop - and the leaves hurt my hands - they're so scratchy allergic. But don't you find that they rebloom throughout the summer?

    Kate: I think of England as having every flower in the world (other than cacti - and who cares about those!) :-)

    Stacy: So true. I must surround myself with them.

    Wendy: HIlarious! I did think of that, but then I thought no one would have the slightest idea of what I meant. How I underestimate you readers.

    Jules: That is very true. Sometimes, I just go out and stare at the garden and all my stress disappears.
