They are commonly confused with phlox, but they are Dames' Rocket (Hesperis matronalis). If you look at the flowers, these plants have 4 petals arranged in a cross. All phlox have 5 petals. All phlox are native to North America, but the beautiful plant in your images is native to Europe and has become well established throughout eastern North America. It is, in fact, a weed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901058270521335468.post-77186532317343714022012-05-17T19:06:27.393-05:002012-05-17T19:06:27.393-05:00Hi Barb, The barn is amazing and those phlox are h...Hi Barb, The barn is amazing and those phlox are heavenly.
