Phlox (pronounced like "flocks") are a variety of perennial flower that bloom in early Spring. They grow wild, and are often cultivated in gardens. Phlox are very sensitive to drought, and require plenty of moisture.
Phlox range in color from pale blue to bright red to white. Some forms can grow up to 6 feet high, while other forms, such as "creeping phlox", form low mats only a few inches in height.
Phlox is found chiefly in the Western United States, although a few species can be found in East Asia.

Phlox is a fictional character in the television series Enterprise. He is the doctor aboard the Starship Enterprise (NX-01).
He is a member of the Denobulan race and was on Earth as part of the Interspecies Medical Exchange when called to service on the Enterprise.
The doctor is portrayed as having an open mind to any other species and culture and is always curious about certain human habits. His sickbay contains an interplanetary zoo of animals, some of them as food for other animals which are used as source for medical drugs. He has a wry sense of humor.
John Billingsley plays the role of Phlox.
