Can anyone identify this plant? It has clusters of pink flowers from
single stems

www.dalecu.co.uk/images/DSCN1732.jpg

It's been there some time, but is the first time it has flowered. I'm
sure I never planted it.

Looks like Phlox paniculata.

Hi Dave,

Looks to me like a Phlox, this is a perennial plant and comes into flower at this point in the season. They are lovely and come in a huge range of colours! So don't dig it up!!!

Hi dave, definantly a Phlox panniculata, bend over and smell it ?? The scent always reminds me of my old boarding school - just like the polish used on the wooden floors !! Smell is one of the strongest memory triggers I think ??

You are lucky, I've tried twice to get that to grow for me and it's failed
both times.

404. That’s an error.
The requested URL /www.dalecu.co.uk/images/DSCN1732.jpg was not found

That's what I get.

I've just cut and pasted the link below into IE, Firefox and Netscape
and it works in all browsers.

Strange, the new link works fine, but tried the old one and stillthe
same message.
No question about it being a Phlox panniculata.

Yes but they smell awful. Well i think so. i can tell if there's some in
a garden even if i can't see them just by the smell!
Some people seem to like it.

I planted a single white phlox (labelled paniculata) when I first
moved here. Within 5 years it had spread everywhere, including to next
door's garden, and I've been digging it out ever since - can't get rid
of it and it smells really bad. OTOH, I have lots of coloured phlox
growing nicely with only the occasional division and cut back of
spreading roots needed. These coloured ones have an attractive scent,
certainly not overpowering at all.

Cheers
Jake

How funny - I love their scent. To me, it's lightly peppery. Do you
enjoy Salvia turkestanica, Janet??!! d&r! ;-)


I found one in the garden (which I don't remember planting!) and I have to
join the "smells awful" corner (must use more deoderant).
