Hi everyone!

Phlox are a favorite of mine, love Blue Paradise in first post!

momlady, I grow Orange Perfection. It's not really orange, but more a bright coral. I have it in a bed with other coral shades, peach, salmon, and lavenders and purples for contrast. It does fight with fire colors (orange, red, gold) where it looks pinkish, but with cool colors it does look more orange. I like it, but the problem is it is the latest to start blooming, usually the end of July when it starts. It looks pinkish in this photo, which does happen toward the end of the bloom.
