When Betsy and I bought this house in 2002, we inherited a rock garden on a steep slope on one side of the driveway. Because of that slope the garden contained mostly rocks and weeds.
The rocks are still there, but we've added ground cover between them. This mound of pink phlox brightened our yard back in April of this year.

That is just lovely George. Phlox is one of the first plants to bloom in the spring here in GA.
I love phlox and wish it could bloom year round...gorgeous photo George!!!
This is a healthy mound of phlox. Love the colour.
flocks in the rocks and enchannting they are. when i was a small child, my uncle had a field, about and acre or more that was solid wild flocks, all colors. i used to love to lay down in them and pick them for my mother.
Wow! That is a lot of color and so gorgeous.What a way to welcome spring.

Very colourful George, you should put a piccy up of the garden too.
those are nice flowers George. Looks stunning when they come together.
Stunning! I admire your love for all your gardens.
Phlox in the rocks, eh? Speaking of rock gardens, I planted a bunch of rocks in our backyard, but couldn't get anything to grow. ;-)
What beautiful ground cover, each flower is perfection.

That is beautiful George! The color is breathtaking. I've grown it in the past but never this well.
Love the previous comment. :)
I saw your comment on Bluff Area Daily and wanted to let you know you van open and edit RAW photos in Elements 8. :)
What a lovely cover for your lawn. Looks like a soft blanket covering the earth.
How pretty! Love the color.
Phlox grows wild all over the mountains around here, and it seems to love rocky areas. Seems like a natural for your rock garden. Love the vivid color.
Amazing how these flowers can claim such rough terrain and make it their own, make it beautiful.
I love this! What a beautiful, exuberant bloom!
