Title: Re: [gwl-g] Need help with blue phlox - no botanical name

Jo Ellen,

 

HI, I am not sure which one as they only referred to it as blue phlox. Maybe the little boy could report on both. Do you know anything about either one?

Hi, Sheri -- are you asking about the native wild blue phlox or woodland phlox?

Can anyone help me out here?

 

My son, Jake, is a 3rd grader at Webster Elementary in Livonia, Michigan.  He needs to write a "fact page" on blue phlox and we have been unable to find if this flower has an interesting history or if it has alternative uses (i.e., medicinal, edible, etc).  His paper is due on 2/22, so any info you could forward would be helpful. 

 

Thanks,

Sheri
