These flowers were photographed on June 7 in a wooded area in Oakland County, Michigan. I believe that they are some sort of phlox. Can you help me identify the species? Thank you.
Not Phlox...which have 5 petals. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=p...O8PYU7Ttg7AO&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1536&bih=728 Looks like Hesperis matronalis...which have 4 petals. The flowers come in different shades from white, pink to deep purple. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=H...eywOVjoDwDw&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1536&bih=728# http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hesperis_matronalis
