Re: spring bloom/ Phlox

Hello Nancy,
    I have a white form of the P. divaricata that has seeded itself around the
garden. It came up close to a Tradescantia with royal purple blooms and the
accidental combination is lovely. The cloud of white floating around the base of
the larger deep green sword shaped leaves and purple bloom with dew beaded all
about in first light of morning...... That and a cup of hot tea will make the rest
of the day secondary.
    On the cliff edge in the center of my garden I have sever different Pulmonaria
and weaving in between all of them is a Phlox stolonifera Home Fires.... bright
pink. Quite a show with all the sheets of pink and green weaving throughout the
whites and blues of the Lungworts. Quite a show. Never thought I would come to
appreciate this shade of pink as I am not into strong colors for the most part.
