    Oh the white and the pink one pictured underneath it have got to be my favourites. :-D I actually put my nose nearer to the screen to smell them. :oops:

    The white and the pink with the darker eye are my favorites too.
    The Phlox in picture #4 got me a first place ribbon at the fair last year!

    Scrumptious!!! :D
    I'm getting snoot smudges on my screen trying to get a good whiff. :D

    Phlox have done quite poorly for me here -
    they really seem to resent the extreme humidity and heat of our long summers,
    so I'm extra thrilled to get to enjoy yours.

    This is the fist summer 2007 that I have had good luck with phlox. The blooms last so long...I had the ones with the variegated leaves. I tend to buy everything that I see that is variegated. Beautiful pictures...

    I'd like to add some variegated Phlox next year Sherry. Phlox does well here...I still have one blooming here even after hard frost and snow fall!

    O.K. I have phlox envy. I finally had some purple to bloom after 5 years of failing. I have a heat and humidity problem. I purchased some white and pink this fall and paid a pretty penny for it so I hope to have success. I may try mail order again and try to get one that is as spectacular as that pink with the darker center. Your pictures are delightful.
