Blue Boy

Blue Boy today. Lots more flowers and it looks healthy. There are 5 or 6 stalks so I think a patch is born :)

The Surviving Phlox

The surviving phlox is purple :)

Front Garden

This is all new from last year in this spot. The daylily didn't bloom this year. I don't think it gets enough sun there. I am moving all the daylily this year and then not again for at least 4. I mean it! lol.

David

I am pretty sure this is 'David' and the really good news is that I think at least two of the other phlox are back as well!

Jumping the Gun

It hasn't quite bloomed but I'm thrilled with the colour.  The problem is that I don't know what it is.  I mean, I know it's a phlox, but it's not Peppermint Twist.
It all started last summer when we had small shoots of 4 different phlox growing in pots: Peppermint Twist, Watermelon, Danielle and Starfire.  In the fall, we were finding places to plant them.  One of them didn't survive to get planted - I thought it was Starfire.  We also moved Nicki phlox from the front at the same time (which hadn't bloomed up to that point).
I'm beginning to think the problem happened with the popsicle sticks... and perhaps a little with my memory.  Could this possibly be Nicki?  Does that mean that what was supposed to be Nicki, and I thought was Orange Perfection, is actually Starfire?  Or... could what I thought was Watermelon be Starfire, and what I thought was Nicki be Watermelon?
And more importantly, how much hope do I have of keeping track of 27 dahlia this summer all marked with popsicle sticks?!

Pink Phlox

Pink Flame phlox started blooming as well as the Tenor phlox up front.

White and Pink

You asked for a close-up of the white phlox and this is about the best my camera can do.  Everything got a little weighted down by all the rain the last couple of days.
