Inn,

My guess is that it is a zinnia. I saw this post and went out and took some pictures of my phlox. If you will notice there is a big difference in the stems of the 2 plants. Also, the veins on the leaves of the pholox go at an angle from the center of the leaf, whereas the veins on the leaves of the zinnia go from end to end.

Attached is a picture of Franz Schubert phlox in my garden.

Here is a link to a picture of a zinnia -I didn't plant any this year :( http://images.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://s3.amazonaws.c...
