What is the name of the flowers behind the yellow iris... anyone?

It's just perfect for what I need in my flower beds, but I don't know what it is... thanks!

What is the name of the flowers behind the yellow iris... anyone?
Creeping phlox (Phlox subulata), possibly 'Candy Stripes': http://www.perennialresource.com/index.c...





Additional Details: I offer this photo of a typical hyacinth flower raceme (15 - 30 flowers per single inflorescence) only as an aid in comparison for your identification purposes: http://fiveonedesign.com/garden8/04_15_0...





AD2: I offer this photo of Phlox divaricata only as a comaprison for your identification: http://www.perennialresource.com/index.c...





AD3: Phlox subulata does best in full sun (6 hours or more) with a well drained, coarse soil. I have seen some very dense %26amp; healthy plantings in foundation beds on the eastern (morning sun) side of homes.
Reply:It sure looks like giant purple hyacinth and hyacinth blooms at about the same time. It is too large in respect to the iris to be creeping phlox. It looks just like a hyacinth in full bloom.
Reply:Phlox divaricata, the Woodland Phlox. The lobed petals give it away.
Reply:I agree with 'sublata'....
