Curious, indeed!

 I had earlier thought it curious . . . once the phlox began to bloom.

Even though, last fall, I had dug out a particular clump or two of

phlox that mildewed badly over the previous three years,

there seemed to be Many More plants, and groups of plants, than I'd remembered there being . . .

Curious, indeed!

We will begin by taking a look at the number of  "clumps" of phlox we see in these front beds.  Yes, we can see some across the yard... but for now, look at these closeups!

Now, let's look over the following photos.  What do you notice?

Here, in a shady bed that was once dominated by David (white) phlox, we see something that has been transpiring over the past three years . . .

 

And this is in the Shady "Raised Bed" area, not far away, where lavender David seems to be enlarging his territory . . .  thanks to the pollinators?

 A CURIOSITY?

P.S.  I'm trying to keep these two phlox "out of the mainstream!"  (Both given me by my Aunt MEA)

 'Laura'

 and "Mattie"

Enjoy a Day of Curiosity!

An Update on "Mattie"

Do you remember "Mattie?"

This is the phlox that was shared by my Aunt MEA.
You can read about it here.

She's blooming now. Isn't she pretty??

"Mattie"

This is her neighbor. This unnamed phlox stands beside her.

They're going to like each other, I think! ;-)

Adding family ties to the garden are a wonderful way to be connected.
