Phlox

What’s happening on Mist Mountain?  A Walk Around in April, a very unpredictable month.

x with words

Okay, so we are getting close to the end of the alphabet and I am running out of pertinent ideas.  I had to go online to see if there was something I might have overlooked.

Wonderweirded-wildlife.com/    lists these x flowers.

  • Xanthorrhoea –  grows in Australia, looks cool, don’t have.Xanthorrhoea semiplana - Anstey Hill.JPG
  • Xenia – seems to be a  marine coral, not growing any of that
  • Xeranthemum – member of the sunflower family, beautiful, purple, don’t have Xeranthemum Mix
  • Xique-Xique – oh no, definitely not here on Mist Mountain Xique-Xique (Pilosocereus  gounellei)
  • Xylosma – 100 species of shrubs including brush hollies, so maybe a possibility, but didn’t research every one, this one grows in Hawaii, so I suspect not here Starr 060225-6165 Xylosma hawaiiense.jpg
  • Xylosteon – Nope
  •  
  • Xyris difformis – grows East of the Mississippi Index

Don’t think I have any of them.  But I learned a lot.  At least Phlox ends in X and some years I have that.
