AUGUST BOUQUET

I had forgotten how much I love Phlox which has been blooming continuously in my garden since mid-July. It makes such a lovely , fragrant cut flower and since they're so many of them in the garden I won't miss the ones collected for the vase.

The two varieties above are 'bright eyes' and 'orange perfection. ' 'Laura ' the purple phlox with a white eye has finally gone out of bloom.

My phlox are so thick this year that I must make a note to divide in the Fall. I will give the excess to friends and family because I don't have the space for more. Or do I ? Maybe that variegated kind that Carol of May Dreams Gardens has. I'm still on the hunt for it.
