The phlox is a total mystery! I have quite a bit of the hot pink/fuschia phlox in several places in the yard, but this much more beautiful pale lavender one just appeared out of the blue! I couldn't be happier that it did, or in the location it chose.

very cool scene! I've got a lot of the Tall Garden Phlox too and it really changes color intensity based on where I plant it - shade or sun or mixture.

It also self seeds and new plants are many times completely different colors from a parent. Love the picture!

Love your photo, Linda. What a nice calm, cool and refreshing look you've made.
