We have always admired the phlox on the hills along I-90 dropping into Vantage in the spring. We were very surprised to find several stands of them close to our EWA home... don't remember ever spotting them there before. When we went on our walk, a stand of phlox was the first thing that caught our eye. These were Long Leaved Phlox (Phlox Longifolia), and we only found this one grouping in the land that we walked. As a matter of fact, the wildflowers were all in certain specific sections.... not much intermingling going on at all. It was like a new discovery every time you rounded a corner or topped a hill.
