Phlox flowers have five petals, yours looks like Dame's Rocket http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/199208/

Thanks for the post Meredith! I'm a newbie here at DG but did a double-take on this picture. I couldn't remember where I'd read what could be mistaken for phlox, but I was certain this plant was missing a petal.
