Hi, @Daylilybaby,
The extremely long pistils on the flowers in this photo are not consistent with Phlox species.
I'm not sure right now what this is, but it doesn't appear to be Phlox.
Could you please take another look at this photo?
Thanks,

Looks like it may be Cleome.

Try to be more valuable than a bad example.
Incidentally, I'm updating the cleome entries tonight, and Cleome serrulata is now a synonym for Peritoma serrulatum. I'll make that change in the name now.
