Strange story about this Phlox.
I planted one pink and one white Phlox on the opposite side of the garden, early 2000's.
In the spot where the white Phlox now grows was another perennial. Sorry, don't know its botanical name. Somehow, either a seed or cutting landed on the soil where the unknown perennial grew. Whichever, seed or cutting germinated. End results, a third Phlox.
Although the unknown perennial was pretty I prefer Phlox, so I dug the original perennial. Or as much root as possible, without injuring Phlox roots.
Is there a fragrant-flower-lover who can resist the sweet-fragrance Phlox emits? Or showy blooms that appear to glow at night? Not I. :)
For Our Daily Challenge, smell.
Some friends gave me these flowers for my birthday several weeks ago, and they're starting to wither and wilt now, but they still smell gorgeous!
I've decided that there's something strangely beautiful about dead and dying flowers.
Tabebuia is a notable flowering tree. The flowers are 3 to 11 cm wide and are produced in dense clusters. Well-known common names include trumpet tree, colours vary between species ranging from white, light pink, yellow, lavender, magenta, or red.
Plumeria trees are everywhere in Hawaii, and their sweet scent wafts through the air so you know whenever they are near by.
These were my favourite flowers in Hawaii.
This is the second 'Poseidon' in my garden. Both are doing well, which surprises me, since white margins are hard to keep in my climate.

Are these Jasmine? I don't know. But they were so fragrant they would make you dizzy.
