This was a hard choice! However, I am a BIG fan of phlox and this phlox paniculata 'Nicky' is my new favourite. It had a rocky start - I planted it bare root in the spring of 2008 and it has taken this long to grow and bloom. It was well worth the wait. I've noticed that many of the tall phlox change colour depending on the time of day (or maybe the temperature?). Nicky looked quite pink when it was first opening and had me confused.
I also love Danielle's perennial pick and was tempted to post my 'Summer Sun' heliopsis - it was a close second. (I managed to sneak it in here anyway ;)
You did manage to sneak it in but wow!, what a photo. I can see why it was a hard choice.
