Last year, I saw one Lemon paintbrush down by our front gate. I should have taken a photo of it. I was looking forward to seeing more this year. I guess paintbrush is not self pollenating because this year I don't have any. We don't Indidan blanket till later, but we do have fields of Drummond Phlox, Phlox drummondii subsp. wilcoxiana. Has anyone attempted to harvest seed from phlox? I have no idea how small the seed pod are or what they look like.
Every once in a while we get a small colony of white phlox although I haven't seen any yet. Given a good year phlox bloom all year long. Not profusely, but here and there.
