      Early spring is the time to explore the dry east side around here. Right now it's a little cooler and wetter, so the wildflowers are out. Soon it will be too hot and dry to be very tolerable - especially as you really shouldn't wear shorts or short sleeves- there will be ticks and rattlesnakes active… Posted 10 years ago

Dear @morpheme, welcome to the circle of moderators!
There are few things you should have in mind when identifying plants. On JD the identification is based on the species classification published in Wikipedia. It differs from the one of ITIS in the names of Division (Phylum) and Class.
On JD we use like in Wikipedia: Angiosperms instead of Brachiophyta
Eudicots instead of Magnoliopsida
Monocots instead of Liliopsida
Please check the identification info of other species from the same family. I was too confused in the beginning with the plants manual identification, but @WildFlower helped me in this respect.

Also, for some reason (@Ferdy could explain, I am not a specialsit) when there is a Wiki page and a plant species is automatically identified the Division and Class names are marked "Unknown"! So we always correct the names afterward manually. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

A somewhat woody perennial with a dwarf, compactly branched habit. The plant is usually not taller than 6 in. and is densely leafy. Oppositely arranged leaves are smooth and linear, up to 3 in. long. Pink or white, sweetly scented flowers occur in loose clusters. Slender stems often grow in dense clumps and have bright pink, pale lilac, or chalky white flowers in loose clusters.

Phloxes are beautiful and popular wildflowers found in nearly all western habitats. The most spectacular have.. more
