There was many patches of Spreading Phlox (Phlox diffusa) along the Hurricane Hill Trail. The genus name Phlox is from the Greek word for 'a flame,' and it refers to the brightly colored flowers of some species. The species name diffusa means 'spreading'. I learned that there is more then one species, and that the kind that grows near my house is not Spreading Phlox, but rather Long-Leaved Phlox. Spreading Phlox ranges in color from white to pink/lavender.
