... but when you're backing out of the driveway and out of the car window you see a cloud of pink and then purple, it's hard not to be impressed.

Now I'm glad I let the asters grow!

Beautiful

what a show!

Lovely color spot:)

i don't care if there weeds or not. i love them. Gorgeous. :D

PHlox one of my favorites..

I have a bunch of phlox too... just not along the driveway!

These are just asters. The pink flew in from the back yard, blown from a plant that I had purchased. The purple is the native wild New England Aster.

Now the two have hybridized and I have several shades that are in between!

Phlox are easy to grow and really give a great show of color.

Those are beautiful! How lucky you are to have such brilliant colors to admire every day. Thanks for sharing.

Yes. And I wish mine didn't get spider mites! Anybody know how to deal with those? I notice that they are also afflicting all the ground ivy in my lawn. Not that I care about the ground ivy, just that if I spray the phlox and don't spray the lawn, the mites will probably just move on into the phlox again. :thumbdown:
