These are pictures of the (3) different Phlox plants that we have in our yard. These flowers smell wonderful and are considered butterfly magnets - bunblebees, moths and numerous other insect are attracted to these flowers also.
The first pic, we wrapped the plant with the wire you see. Otherwise it would have fallen victim to the wild rabbits and woodchucks that did a number on this plant last season.
The second pic - this plant resides where it was originally planted several years ago. It's not the ideal spot only because it gets lost amongst the ferns and black-eyed Susan's. I plan on transplanting this one somewhere within the pool area once the flower pass.
The third pic - this one fell victim to some critter, again either a wild rabbit, woodchuck or deer. I didn't think it was going to flower at all this season simply because it was eaten almost all the way to the ground. However, it came back strong and doesn't look too bad. It too kinda gets lost amongst the taller 'Uncle Tommy', black-eyed Susan's and chives.
