Thank you Elaine, Melanie & Sherri!
Elaine, the rain certainly didn't hurt.
Melanie, this is where I get my red phlox seed from. I buy in bulk & this company has the overall best prices as well as the most pure seed available and it has great germination rates.

Sherri, they do that here too & I love seeing the roadsides in glorious bloom.
