I was told that this plant was a phlox...but much to my chagrin I have found out through a search of the wild flower sites on the internet that this flower is an alein. It came to North America from Europe.

flower is creamy white/light yellow (at least mine is) with an inflated calyx, 2.5 cm wide, with green veining and sticky hairs. Leaves are opposite, ovate/lanceolate. It blooms July to October. It thrives in rich soil..but will grow anywhere.
