Blue Phlox
A not-so-common wild flower found in woods along creeks; I've only seen these along Cayuga Inlet Creek and Fall Creek. Blue, 5-petal flower with a long tube - sort-of like Myrtle. Flowers packed in a terminal cluster on the stem. Paired, thin leaves on a slightly hairy, 1', more-or-less erect stem.
