Woodland phlox, Phlox divaricata, that I got at a wildflower sale at a Unitarian church 5 years ago and stuck in this pot. Needs repotting but it keeps blooming and as an extra plus matching the porch!

Does Woodland Phlox Spread?: The Plants Growing Habits
Does Woodland Phlox Spread?: The Plants Growing Habits
If you’ve come across woodland phlox (Phlox divaricata) while out hiking, you may have been enchanted by its beauty. This perennial wildflower is native to dappled woodlands and meadows in eastern North America.
Often used in gardens and landscape designs, this low-growing plant produces delicate, five-petaled flowers in shades of blue, lavender, white, or purple in the early months of spring. It…

I wanted to share a picture of my garden that I took yesterday. The blue flowers are phlox divaricata, aka woodland phlox or wild sweet william. It's a local wildflower that I have cultivated in my front flowerbed for years. In the distance you can see a red tulip. The phlox smells wonderful, kind of a sweet, honey-like fragrance. Wild sweet william is special to me because my grandma said she used to pick them when she was a little girl.

Meet Piers!
Meet Piers! Piers is a Virginian Opossum + White-Eared Opossum trying to start a business where he steals rare items throughout Thirotia for money. He works with Arvin, his roommate, Carrie, an old high-school friend, and Phlox, a young skunk who's just trying to pay for college.
Some lore under the cut!
While I'm still figuring out some of Piers's lore, I do know some stuff. He grew up in Fontveria (a mostly woodland forest biome which, fun fact, is the second most populated land biome in Thirotia) with his family. When he was younger, he learned how to pickpocket and strak very well so he could sell the items and help his parents out, which is how he is so good at thievery today. When he got older, he moved to Thirotia's Capital and became a garbage man. The job paid well, but he didn't like it and thought it was boring, so he decided to start his own free lance business with his roommate to make money instead!
Despite his ability to he sneaky, Piers is actually very energetic and outgoing and, compared to his coworkers, has a relatively positive outlook on life. But, he's not innocent and obviously is willing to do morally questionable things.
Also, those aren't gloves, that's just his fur color. The things above his feet are like shoes, but for animals who climb or have weird long toes, so you'll see a lot of animals like monkeys and squirrels wear them.
