...May flowers - Wild Blue Phlox

We've all heard the rhyme "April showers bring May flowers", but just what blooms in May? 
Follow along as we post about a new flower every day in May, some familiar, some may be new, all beautiful in their unique sort of way!

Phlox divaricata L. 
Also known as: wild blue phlox, Louisiana phlox, blue woodland phlox, sweet william, wild sweet william.

Calling them blue is a bit of a misnomer as they're more commonly a lavender to whitish color. They can be found in both woodlands and in fields providing nectar for bees and butterflies.
