Minigrannie,

At least we have ONE thing in common! The chewed up leaves....
Looks like the same critter done it!

Yes, those are Phlox. This is actually the second flush of bloom on it, as I am good at cutting off the spent flowertips in due time.

My Rosamond was a measly cutting from Brugie last fall. She also sent me a "Species" and a "Forevermorr". Those have not bloomed yet! I have a Dr. Seuss from last year--now approaching 9' tall! Mamma Mia! I also have a Rose Souvelons from last year. She has bloomed non-stop--a few at a time. Also pink! If the other two are also pink, I will really be "pinked out"!!! :-)))

"Forevermorr" will open tomorrow! She has 2 buds. It is so hot here--today heat index over 100! I am sure it is even hotter where you are. This year is just miserable. What's happening to us?????
