They're such clockwork plants to bloom, they could never synch with all the rest, but wouldn't that be grand?<BR/><BR/>As for that bug, did you say that it was some kind of beetle? I sure hope we don't get those, but we're not that far away from Mobot relatively speaking, so I'll be keeping an eye for the lil buggers.<BR/><BR/>You're more than welcome... you've been a big salesperson to win me over to the phlox side, hehe.Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-47921977766235400232008-07-24T22:35:00.000-05:002008-07-24T22:35:00.000-05:00Hey B2,Thanks, they do look pretty despite the neg...Hey B2,<BR/>Thanks, they do look pretty despite the neglect they've gotten back there for the past two years.

We haven't had problems with powdery mildew or those beetles that ate Gail's phlox. Odd too, because this is a prime year for powdery mildew with all the really humid weather and rain of late. <BR/><BR/>When I looked out on this patch from the window in the dining room this morning, I did see a hummingbird visit the Monarda briefly ....Iowa Victory Gardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07220818462081082930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-3092054971954369812008-07-24T21:27:00.000-05:002008-07-24T21:27:00.000-05:00It would be hard to find fault with the phlox look...It would be hard to find fault with the phlox looking as good as it does! Both photos are wonderful. I am liking the grouping in the second photo...a really nice mix! It must be lovely in the spring when the baptisia blooms. They all seem to be behaving nicely and blooming their hearts out! <BR/><BR/>I wish my phlox was recovered completely from phlox bug...it hasn't! It might not! When I was at the Missouri Botanical Garden in May...their phlox was also afflicted...Should I feel better that they can't control it either!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the link...I love that we have helped convince you to better appreciate your phlox! It is a fine phlox and not at all a bad pink.<BR/><BR/>GailGailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16194325535496408116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29575688.post-28106048482083254422008-07-24T19:18:00.000-05:002008-07-24T19:18:00.000-05:00Your phlox do show well against the other planting...Your phlox do show well against the other plantings.

I know a lot of folks say the old fashioned pink ones are too common and they sometimes get mildew. I still love 'em. Your photo of the phlox with cone flowers--they look good together. <BR/><BR/>As you mentioned, they host a lot of interesting insects. I frequently have sphinx moths, bees, and even hummingbirds at mine. <BR/>MarnieRoses and Lilacshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07121676379580186489noreply@blogger.com
