Before I had my own garden, I loved looking at phloxes and their scent. Phloxes were the first flowers to appear in my garden. I asked a neighbor for one stem of phlox and divided it into several cuttings. I planted them in pots and covered them with a cut plastic bottle. To my joy, by the end of the summer all the cuttings gave roots and I transplanted them into the garden. It's amazing how they survived the winter. They must have been warm under the snow.
Every year I bought rooted cuttings of different varieties in the Garden Centers and the number of phlox increased. Some of them remained in the garden, while others disappeared. Now red, purple and white phlox grow in the garden. My dream is to buy blue phlox. But all they require maintenance and pruning and this thought stops me from buying new phloxes.
I love to dip my face in their inflorescence and inhale the aroma. Do you grow phlox? Do you like their scent?
Phlox is one of my favorites in the garden too. You have so many beautiful varieties of them.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried to take cuttings of them, but I will try it now. I grow many phlox here, and I really like the ones that have purple or bluish colors. I love the scent too. Hugs.
Glad you like phlox too, Marit. Hopefully your new cuttings root well.
DeleteTodella kauniita.
ReplyDeleteMukavaa syksyn jatkoa. 🥀🍁🍄
You're right Anemone. Phlox is beautiful plant.
DeleteWe have phlox in our garden, Nadezda, and find it especially appealing since it attracts so many pollinators. It’s a beautiful plant.
ReplyDeleteDavid, I'm sure your garden is pretty one. Phlox decorate it in September.
DeleteLindas flores. Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeleteGracias J.P, Un abrazo.
DeleteSyysleimut ovat kauniita syyskesän kukkijoita. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI agree Anemone phlox is a lovely autumnal plant.
DeleteDear Nadezda!
ReplyDeletePhloxes are one of my favorite flowers. They may not be spectacularly beautiful, but I have great sentiment for them... and I like their scent. In our country, many, many years ago, these charming flowers decorated rural grandmothers' gardens. Fortunately, they are not difficult to grow, which is why I have three varieties of phloxes in a perennial border.
Hugs and greetings - Anita :-))
Anita, it's nice to know that you love them as much as I do. I still have memories of country gardens where phlox always grew. Hugs.
DeleteHello Nadezda, phloxes are wonderful traditional perennials and I (like many) find them nostalgic because my mother had them when I was a child. In those times I saw mainly pink flowers and nowadays I like especially those with darker blooms. Your white ones look very delicate and elegant.
ReplyDeleteIn front of our home, coneflowers, soapweeds and phloxes are blooming now and they all have a lovely scent.
Happy day to you!
Here some gardeners call phlox 'grandmother's flower'. That's why I like them :) I think that flowering phlox, coneflower and soapworts complement each other with colors and aroma, Sara. Hugs.
DeleteWhat a beautiful post, Nadezda! Your phloxes are lovely.
ReplyDeleteI grow some as well and their scent is lovely indeed.
I wrote a comment earlier today but it seems to have disappeared. (?)
Have a lovely day!
Your comment hasn't disappeared, Sarah. It was published after approval. There is a lot of spam in the comments.
DeleteYes, I noticed the message about the needed approval after having written my second comment. 😀 And yes, there have been a lot of spam comments recently... and sometimes real comments go to the spam folder.
DeleteGood night!
I'm sorry Sara that there were problems with this approval, but it had to be put up due to spam, especially from sellers.
DeleteHi Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful and showy flowers with a very pleasant aroma.
Hugs and all the best
You are right, Maria. All the best.
DeleteHow beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHere in Brazil this phlox has another name, and another shape,
do not produce several ball-shaped flowers, it is one in
each stem. I liked yours better.
Thank you for visiting in August.
I make one post a month.
janicce.
Que lindo!
Aqui no Brasil esse phlox tem outro nome, e outro formato,
não dão várias flores em forma de bola, é uma em
cada caule. Gostei mais das suas.
Obrigada pela visita no mês de agosto.
Eu faço um post por mês.
janicce.
Janicce, I didn't know about phlox in Brazil. Thanks for info. All the best.
DeleteLovely phlox - I have some that look very similar
ReplyDeleteAll the best, Sue, hugs.
DeleteBoa noite de quinta-feira. Obrigado pela visita e comentário. Minha querida amiga Nadezda, essas flores são lindas e maravilhosas.
ReplyDeleteGracias Luiz. Me encanta tu comentario.
DeleteQuerida Nadezda enhorabuena por tan preciosas matas, a mi también me gustan mucho, pero no prosperan bien en mi jardín. Besos
ReplyDeletePhlox son hermosas y verdaderas flores de otoño. Me encanta su aroma, Lola.
