Wood Phlox


Wild Wood Phlox has narrow deep-throated flowers that attract Swallowtail Butterflies, but it’s fairly deer resistant, so it’s a common flower where it can find enough water.  This was along the C&O Canal and was being visited by a Zebra Swallowtail.  Phlox looks a lot like Dames Rocket, which has only four flower petals.
