Moss Phlox
Phlox subulata
Other names are Moss Pink or Ground Pink giving away what the color of this plant should be. However, all through the region the flowers were white with a touch of pink near the center. Flowers are 1 inch wide. This plant is matted along the ground and has its flower petals slightly indented at the tip. A prostrate plant of dry, sandy of rocky places makes a grand show on exposed road cuts. Blooms in the spring.
