Purple Phlox

I was wrong. There are some wildflowers blooming now.  These are just down the dirt road from me. I am very happy to see them because they were mowed way too early last year and I was afraid they didn't have time to go to seed.  I was even going to write a letter to city hall to complain, but figured it would go into the Sly Pete file.  The next to bloom will be white daisies...

This has to be a wild relative of the garden phloxes.  I wonder if they would transplant well?
