The lavender flowers of Phlox pilosa are one of the characteristic sights of early summer on savannas and dry prairies. In this photo taken in June, the phlox flowers are already nearly obscured by the fast growing coreopsis tripteris, illustrating the seasonal succession of prairie flowering.
The shortest plants, like the violets, flower early, followed by those about a foot tall, like prairie phlox. The flowering plants become progressively taller as the summer progresses.
