OK, You two--Oink,,,Oink,,,,

John--I already figured out that the blue thing is a lost, forlorn Veronica stem.
I think I planted one there long ago--but the soil and environs there are not the best.
Everything has to struggle to make it. When they do--they get a trophy!

The tricolor Phlox is three different plants.
The pale white/pink is the oldest resident in this spot. Not sure, exactly, how
the deep pink one settled in here? Phlox DO make seeds--maybe a birdie
planted it.
The white Phlox "David" is spectacular! Stem as thick as your thumb.
Strong, white blooms. I moved it last year just a couple feet to the side of the pink clump.
It was smack in the front--just out of place. It is doing well as you can/will see.

If you can't wait--I took close-up shots of every one of my Phlox. WHICH pink
are you talking about? I have, like, 3 pink Phlox--different shades--but pink.
This is the best I can do as a closer shot. This is from last year....How close do you want it????
I can go outside and snap a photo--as they are all in semi-bloom.

Geez! The things I do for you all!!!! Hold on!

1--Took about 20 shots--only caught one where the Hummingbird Moth was in focus.
Enjoy! This is the phlox on the E. side of my house--where the back porch steps are.

2--This is a single stem and is underneath the red Phlox by the shed. I have NO idea
where this came from. Very pretty! Hpope it multiplies....

3--This is the pale pink & white Phlox --the big clump--in the mixed clump picture
Is this what you wanted?

4--This is the whole big clump of the deep pink Phlox on my Kitchen-side bed.
From a distance--it is an eye-catcher.

5--Had to borrow this picture from last year. It is not in bloom yet right now--but
starting to be. This Phlox is amazing! It is close to 6' tqll right now and the only way
I can describe the color is as "Neon light purple". It blooms till almost frost.
This Phlox is from Jill (critter) and is named after her "Aunt Felicia".
When I look out my BR window it just "pops" in my eyes.

OK, John! Are you happy? Did I miss anything?
