Phlox in the Same Old Woodland.

I like to say the name Phlox. I think it’s the letters p, h and l that make it fun, and yes, it’s probably just me. The name is from the Greek for flame and the specific epithet nana for the plant in this episode is also from the Greek and means dwarf. With that in mind, I suggest a common name for Phlox nana could be Little Phlame Phlox. Yay, and you’re welcome!
Oh, and those are my notes rustling in this episode. I was a little disorganized. Okay, maybe a lot. And, the photos are mine, taken in the same old woodland of the Chiricahua Mountains.
