Phloxes

There are also some woodland phloxes available that take shade and are very fragrant. ❋ Unknown (2009)

For all ornament, the quaint cottage was covered with jessamine and honeysuckle and climbing hops, and the garden about it was gay with phloxes and tall, juicy-leaved plants. ❋ Unknown (2007)

And I've got lots of pictures of frosted phloxes (phloxi?), so I guess it's not that hard to pick out a good one or two. ❋ Grouse (2005)

Like a hallucination, painfully clear, he saw again their home as he had imagined it; he saw their garden, and Elizabeth feeding Nero and the pigeons on the drive by the sulphur-yellow phloxes that grew as high as her shoulder; and the drawing-room, with the water-colours on the walls, and the balsams in the china bowl mirrored by the table, and the book-shelves, and the black piano. ❋ Unknown (2002)

The first afternoon we were up here we went for a ride round Imogene basin, and were delighted with the wild flowers, which are quite innumerable -- columbine, phloxes, blue gentian, dandelions, harebells, vetches, and fifty other species. ❋ Cecil Hall (N/A)

Crimson phloxes, waxen lilies, roses laden with perfume. ❋ Various (N/A)

It should be so planted that its densely-branched stems can fall over the face of a light-coloured stone; in this respect it forms a good companion to the dwarf phloxes, but it is otherwise a superior rock plant, being more characteristic and prolonged in its flowering. ❋ John Wood (N/A)

The dwarf phloxes, however, are more useful; their browned spreading branches form a neutral but warm-looking ground to the purple blossoms; besides, by the time all trace of the Bulbocodium has shrivelled up, they begin to produce their sheets of bloom. ❋ John Wood (N/A)

Bunches of bass hung from nails above the shelf; and on the wall opposite, a coloured advertisement, representing phloxes of so fierce an intensity of hue that nature was put to the blush, had been tacked by some admirer of Art. Five minutes later, when Gimblet emerged once more into the open, he carried in one hand a garden rake. ❋ Charles Bryce (N/A)

It illumined flame-colored verbenas, and tall columns of pink and snowy phloxes, and hedges of August roses, making them radiant as the flowers of a dream. ❋ Various (N/A)

We counted forty-two different specimens; those yellow orchids you are so proud of at home, also red tiger-lilies, phloxes, and endless other varieties. ❋ Cecil Hall (N/A)

Afterwards she walked him down the herbaceous border to admire late phloxes and early Michaelmas daisies. ❋ Wentworth, Patricia (1944)

A bullet instantly laid her low among her phloxes and lilies; and there, in her little garden, her dead body was dishonoured. ❋ Unknown (1915)

The herbaceous border grows luxuriant phloxes and delphiniums, but the background of glass houses sets a wrong light about it. ❋ Eric Parker (1912)

The cottages which add themselves to whatever is old in neighbouring buildings are designed to fit with a scheme; the cottage gardens are challenges of roses and phloxes, which shall be brightest. ❋ Eric Parker (1912)

Petunias, phloxes, and many annuals make good window plants. ❋ Unknown (1906)
