It’s been a tough summer but “Laura” is still holding her own. If you can ignore the photo quality long enough, I hope you’ll see her still blooming away into September while ‘barsixty’ (coral flame) towards the front is just a shriveled brown mess. The freshness might not be with “Laura” any more but at least she’s doing her part to keep the color going Two months and counting is a good job considering I’ve done nothing other than water enough to keep the poor thing from wilting too badly. I’m officially going to name Laura my best phlox paniculata 🙂

sorta like suburbia 
It is a nice Pholx. It is good to have those late bloomers too.
Anything that stretches the season here is welcome 🙂
It’s amazing how well it thrives in spite of the drought – do you water it a lot? In my last garden Phlox was always a sad sight because of the dry summers.
Many of the phlox look bad at this time of the year. I did give it regular watering this summer which is why it’s holding on, but its neighbors received the same treatment and they do nothing but complain and turn brown!
Only goes to show that it’s wise to select and continue breeding with the good ones.
Nice! Looks fairly compact, too.
It has a nice height, compact but not too much so.
Beautiful! I dream of one day having a flower garden filled only with plants that share my name. LOL This “Laura” would definitely be on the list.
Ha! I didn’t even think of that!
You have me thinking now….. I can’t think of any plants to fill up a “Frank” garden, i guess no one looks at a flower and thinks ‘let’s name it Frank!’
