Thanks, htop! It's a little "blurrier" than it seemed when I was editing it, so I may try to get a sharper image.

You are quite welcome. The 3 blooms in the foreground appear to be happily dancing in the wind. I smiled when I saw them. Sometimes my photos appear very sharp and then when I upload them, they appear a bit fuzzy (especially when reds are involved). I think it has to do with the color spectrum that is available on the net which cannot handle some hues. Your photo looks fine to me. :o)

vegmm, yours looks more like a garden phlox (Phlox paniculata) - we have a great ID forum available if you're not sure.

Pretty blue color on those blooms, though!

Terry, I love these cynoglossum, but they don't seem to do so well in our wet climate. One year I had them in a pot with a rich orange calendula, and it was quite striking.

Weezin, I think your combination was my inspiration for trying them (you posted a pic of them ;o) They didn't do well for me last year, but we went from cold & wet to hot & dry and they didn't stand much of a chance.

These are volunteers so my expectation level for how they perform is rather low - I don' t have them massed together, so I can just enjoy each plant wherever one pops up ;o)

Terry, having intentionally started thousands and thousands of plants, I've come to the conclusion that the volunteers always seem to do the best, whether tag-alongs in starter trays or those that pop up in the beds outside. Must be some Murphy's Law concerning that one!
