Me, too, I enjoy phlox. They're so abundant and display such a pretty range of colors. And the crowning touch are the winged visitors who value phlox nectar. I'm glad that you appreciated the pictures ~ I found them easily, and they're exactly what I had in mind.
Phlox are one of my favorite wild flowers here in the springtime. Pretty pictures!
jptanabe, Me, too, I love hummingbirds. If you have one or two, you can always attract more. It's a honor and a blessing for them to visit you: it means that they like your yard!
Love hummingbirds! Nice to know what attracts them - we usually see one or two in our yard, I'd love to attract more of them.
