Phlox from the Past

Recently, I drove past this head-turning flock of phlox blooming at the edge of an overgrown, abandoned farmstead.  The profusion of lavender, white, and pink reached even into the tree-shaded depths beyond.   

July 24 (16)The colors were very beautiful, this photo hardly doing justice.  A farmwife of long ago probably planted these garden phlox in an effort to brighten up her little corner of the world.

Isn't it beautiful? I love seeing these types of "wildflowers."
