The garden phlox are blooming and the air is heavy with their fragrance! One of my favorite flowers in the garden, these beauties smell almost of lilacs. Vigorous plants, they spread readily and grow in sun and shade. When dead headed or in years of heavy rain, they can bloom into the fall. My first plants came from Grandma Bessie's home in Raymore, where she shared them after a day spent tidying her flower beds. I've shared them and planted them all over the property. So now, I get to paint their beauty and enjoy their fragrance every summer! Painting number 4923 in 4923 days.
