    Can you tell me what this is? It looks like some sort of phlox.

    Answer

    Dear margaretbruzelius, good morning. Your plant does look like a species of Phlox (common name is also phlox). Without an image of the leaves, I can't tell you which species you have photographed for certain. I would also need the location (generally) of this plant to help you with a confident identification. If this plant is near you and you would like to get more images, feel free to send them to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org and I can help you further.
