I believe it's Anagallis arvensis, Scarlet Pimpernel.

Here is a link that might be useful: Scarlet Pimpernel

That's what my hubby and I have been thinking-- it sure looks an awful lot like it, and I do believe there is some sort of Phlox that grows wild around here. I've always thought of Phlox as pink, never this lovely periwinkle blue. I'm probably going to post this on the Name That Plant forum in a few days, unless anyone else here has a positive ID. Hubby just loves this flower and is as curious as I am! Gee, I'd sure love to know this cutie's name... :) Megan
