RHH's photos with the keyword: phlox

These Desert Phlox were photographed along the South Kaibab trail in Grand Canyon National Park.

These Spreading Phlox were photographed in Crater Lake National Park where the earliest spring wildflowers were just beginning to bloom after snow melt.

This is Wild Blue Phlox, Phlox divaricata, photographed in Dowagiac Woods in Cass County, Michigan.

When we found these plants at Aman Park in western Michigan we were not sure of their identity but later saw them in bloom elsewhere and realized they were a Phlox, we think Phlox divaricata, the Wild Blue Phlox.

We travel nearly every month to eastern Washington, to the Spokane area, to visit our handicapped son. Quite often we spend a day or part of day at Manito City Park in Spokane, one of the most beautiful city parks we have ever seen. This photo was taken there in the spring and shows some of the spring color between the perennial gardens and the rose garden. Seeing all this color even in a photo makes me very eager for spring, but that seems a long way off when we were snowshoeing yesterday.

Didn't quite get the composition on this but thought it was worth posting anyway. The photo was taken on the Winchester Mountain trail and looks back toward Mount Baker and Mount Shuksan, but neither were visible that day. The day started fairly nice, but soon clouded over and threatened rain. The flowers in the foreground are the Spreading Phlox, Phlox diffusa.

The hike to Lake Ann was at the peak of the wildflower season and this was one of the wildflowers we photographed, Phlox diffusa, the Spreading Phlox. The photo was taken by my wife and was the best photo of this species that either of us were able to get.

Phlox speciosa is a common wildflower in our region. The flowers are usually pink, but white flowers can be found as well. These were photographed along the Ray Westberg Trail to Manatash Ridge in eastern Washington.

In Explore August 14, #383. Taken on the Yellow Aster Butte Trail near Mount Baker. This photo was taken on a bright day with a polarising filter that darkened the color of the flowers somewhat.

This was taken near the top of the ridge and shows the abundance of wildflowers growing on the ridge. The flowers in this photo are primarily Lupines, Arrowleaf Balsamroots, and Cushion Phlox.

I believe I have the identification correct on this, but do not know if it is a native or a garden escape where we found it. It was photographed in Turkey Run State Park in Indiana. At the time we photographed it there were a lot of Swallowtails visiting the flowers but we did not manage to get any good pictures of them. ronaldhanko-orchidhunter.blogspot.com/2011/11/turkey-run-...
